There is no iptables in my /etc/init.d.
It's most probably a communication issue between the nodes. However, I have no
ideea what it might be. It's weird though that the first Send / Receive pair
works and only subsequent pairs fail. Anyway, thankyou for taking the time to
help me out. I am grateful!
Adrian

When you run without a hostfile, you're likely only running on a single node
via shared memory (unless you're running inside a SLURM job, which is unlikely,
given the context of your mails).
When you're running in SLURM, I'm guessing that you're running across multiple
nodes. Are you using TCP as your MPI transport?
If so, I would still recommend trying stopping iptables altogether --
/etc/init.d/iptables stop. It might not make a difference, but I've found
iptables to be sufficiently complex that it's easier to take that variable out
altogether by stopping it to really, really test to see if that's the problem.
