I searched the archives and found that this came up before, but it
doesn't seem like much was done about it. My basic problem is that I'm
using other peoples' work machines after hours and they have the
firewall on and don't want to turn it off. This is a collection of OS X
machines (dual G5s). The nice thing about xGrid is that it works with
the firewall, but doesn't meet our needs.

First, is there a way to assign TCP/UDP ports for lam-mpi and is there
a reason for random ports?

If there isn't a way, do I only need to allow the master node machine
all access via some ugly ipfw rule for a port range?

Thanks
Marc
