Hi Ralph,
Thanks for your quick response. I am using ssh without a passphrase, so there was no need to start ssh-agent (ssh works as you can see from the email I sent to George a little while ago … cc’d to users).
Anyway, I installed ssh-agent as you suggested in case ompi/orte accessed it, but it made no difference.
Please let me know if you have any other thoughts.
Cheers,
Jim

Afraid I'm no OpenSSH expert, but it sounds like there is an issue with its configuration. Check out the OpenSSH config options to see if something fits.
I did a quick search and found this, as an example:
Note the need to run ssh-agent to cache login credentials.

Hi all,
I am trying to setup Open-MPI across two Windows 7 machines with UAC disabled ……
Cygwin with OpenSSH is installed, and I can successfully ssh to each machine without entry of username and password:
JimT@JimT-PC ~
$ ssh NanoOneQuad
Last login: Tue Feb 7 01:42:02 2012 from jimt-pc
JimT@NanoOneQuad ~

Regardless of this, mpirun insists on asking for a username and password; then asks to save credentials, but if selected, responds with not implemented. If saving credentials is not selected, then I can see that the task starts on the other machine (in task manager) and that the task runs to completion OK:
JimT@JimT-PC ~
$ mpirun -H NanoOneQuad ipconfig.exe
connecting to NanoOneQuad
username:JimT
password:**************
Save Credential?(Y/N) y
[JimT-PC:03784] This feature hasn't been implemented yet.
JimT@JimT-PC ~
$ mpirun -H NanoOneQuad ipconfig.exe
connecting to NanoOneQuad
username:JimT
password:**************
Save Credential?(Y/N) n
JimT@JimT-PC ~
$
Please let me know what I have missed. I have gone through the FAQs and have rebuilt the windows version but can’t seem to get past this.
Thanks and best regards,
Jim
