Hi,

After talking with Torsten today I found something weird. When using the SLURM 
pls we seem to forward a user's environment, but when using the rsh pls we do 
not.

I.e.:
[tprins@odin ~]$ mpirun -np 1 printenv |grep foo
[tprins@odin ~]$ export foo=bar
[tprins@odin ~]$ mpirun -np 1 printenv |grep foo
foo=bar
[tprins@odin ~]$ mpirun -np 1 -mca pls rsh printenv |grep foo

So my question is which is the expected behavior? 

I don't think we can do anything about SLURM automatically forwarding the 
environment, but I think there should be a way to make rsh forward the 
environment. Perhaps add a flag to mpirun to do this?

Thanks,

Tim
