     I have a question about the issue of LAM being blocked by
firewalls. The FAQ entry mentioned that because LAM used random
ports to communicate that a firewall would block the communication
between nodes. I find this very confusing because I thought that
the LAM rpm I was using is configured to use ssh for communication
between LAM nodes. So far I haven't noticed any problems with
a having each LAM node running a firewall passing only ssh. Any
clarification would be most appreciated.
