The patch for limiting the port range used by OpenMPI sounds useful. This *is* an issue with firewalls. For a dedicated cluster behind a firewall that's ok, but for harnessing available hardware (eg, Mac OSX systems) in the wee hours its not. Gets my vote!

I have a patch for this, but I never felt a real need for it,
so I never push it in the trunk. I'm not completely convinced that we need it, except in some really strange situations (read grid). Why
do you need a port range ? For avoiding firewalls ?
