Open MPI can't launch remote nodes via SSH

http://serverfault.com – I am trying to set up Open MPI between a few machines on out network. Open MPI works fine locally, but I just can't get it to work on a remote node. I can ssh into the remote machine (without password) just fine, but if I try something like mpiexec -n 4 --host remote.host hello_c then the ssh connection just times out. I checked several tutorials but the only configuration instructions they give is "make sure you can ssh into the remote machine without a password". I did and I still can't launch nodes on remote machines. What's the problem? (HowTos)

I'm fighting with SSO and SSH on Debian Wheezy. Locally it works fine. I'm getting ticket successfully at login. But when I've logged in to the remote machine by SSH without password, klist on the remote machine finds no credentials.

I have ubuntu 12.04 installed with virtualbox 4.1.12. I have a windows 7 professional 32-bit virtualmachine with a bridged network adapter inside virtualbox. I've given a static ip to this machine with all ports open on both host and virtual machine (for now) but people outside of my network can't remote into the virtual machine, just the host.

Two remote machines - both running 12.04. Most of the documentation goes through configuration etc but I'm struggling on what you use/launch to actually use remote control. I've installed openssh on the remote host and installed Putty on my client machine. (I believe I have openssh client already installed by default but what/where is it?).

I have two Ubuntu machines - desktop and a laptop - both after clean install.

After installing open ssh on both and allowing remote controlling the machines I tried two options for remote controlling the machine (desktop from the laptop):

VNC - I tried the built in client (vinagre) and Reminna and in both connection in the house (local network) gave average performance (not amazing!) and from o

I have several remote machines. I want to create a variable for each of these remote machines, by retrieving some data remotely for each of them.

When I want to compare a local file with a remote file, any of these usually works:

$ ssh remote cat file | diff file - $ diff file <(ssh remote cat file)

However, sometimes (especially when the password is needed) they fail like this:

$ ssh remote cat file | diff file - 1,162d0 < ... < ... Password:

Here, diff doesn't wait for ssh to complete and considers the second file empty.

I'm trying to run a set of commands on a remote machine, that includes an if statement. I'm using this to shutdown a list of kvm instances. The first line should be fine, but could be prettier, rest needs some help.

By default we need type remote user’s password to access to remote host with ssh command.This tutorial shows how to configure to access remote host without password. First,assume: local host:192.168.1.100 remote host:192.168.1.101,username:username we want to access to username@192.168.1.101 from 192.168.1.100 without password using ssh

I wish to connect my machine to a server in some other city.
