All it really does is create the public/private rsa keys needed for SSH. If your account is setup to use passwordless SSH, meaning that you can ssh into any node without being prompted for a password, you don't need to run the expect script.<BR /><BR />Perhaps the sys admin for the cluster can set that up for you?<BR /><BR />If you are experiencing problems with Except, I would point you to their FAQ, particularly the section regardingfailures on RedHat:<BR /><A href="http://expect.nist.gov/FAQ.html#q70" target="_blank">http://expect.nist.gov/FAQ.html#q70</A><BR /><BR />The also have an alert on the home page saying that version 5.44 has been "recalled due to unresolved problems". They recommend falling back to version 5.43.<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />~Gergana</DIV> Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:05:49 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/alternative-to-expect/m-p/857176#M1557 Gergana_S_Intel 2009-01-27T00:05:49Z
