Just passing the contents of the machinefile is the way the current code works and I think this is the most sensible solution. Any situation where there the resolver returns IPv6 addresses, but the installed networking software like rsh/ssh is not able to cope with them looks clearly like an admin error to me. This is nothing that OpenMPI should try to fix. And remember that there is always the -4 switch in ssh. Christian -- Dipl.-Inf.
