Hi there, I'm currently trying to set up a small xgrid between two mac pros (a single quadcore and a 2 duo core), where both are directly connected via an ethernet cable. I've set up xgrid using the password authentication (rather than the kerberos), and from what I can tell in the Xgrid admin tool it seems to be working. However, once I try a simple hello world program, I get this error:

However, I noticed that in the computer being used as an agent, this option is grayed on in the Xgrid sharing configuration (I have no idea why). I would therefore ask if it is absolutely necessary to use SSO to get openmpi to run with xgrid, or am I missing something with the password setup. Seems that the kerberos option is much more complicated, and I may even want to switch to just using openmpi with ssh.
