Hi,

I'm with this problem (help me!!!):

[swingle_at_swingle /]$ ssh -x swingle3 -n 'echo $SHELL'
/bin/bash
[swingle_at_swingle /]$ lamboot -v

LAM 7.1.1/MPI 2 C++/ROMIO - Indiana University

n-1<6733> ssi:boot:base:linear: booting n0 (swingle)
n-1<6733> ssi:boot:base:linear: booting n1 (swingle3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lamboot agent timed out while waiting for the newly-booted process
to call back and indicated that it had successfully booted.

*** PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE, FOLLOW ITS SUGGESTIONS, AND
*** CONSULT THE "BOOTING LAM" SECTION OF THE LAM/MPI FAQ
*** (http://www.lam-mpi.org/faq/) BEFORE POSTING TO THE LAM/MPI USER'S

As far as LAM could tell, the remote process started properly, but
then never called back. Possible reasons that this may happen:

       - There are network filters between the lamboot agent host and
         the remote host such that communication on random TCP ports
         is blocked
       - Network routing from the remote host to the local host isn't
         properly configured (this is uncommon)

You can check these things by watching the output from "lamboot -d".

1. On the command line for hboot, there are two important parameters:
  one is the IP address of where the lamboot agent was invoked, the
  other is the port number that the lamboot agent is expecting the
  newly-booted process to call back on (this will be a random
  integer).

2. Manually login to the remote machine and try to telnet to the port
  indicated on the hboot command line. For example,
      telnet <ipnumber> <portnumber>
  If all goes well, you should get a "Connection refused" error. If
  you get any other kind of error, it could indicate either of the
  two conditions above. Consult with your system/network
  administrator.

n-1<6733> ssi:boot:base:linear: aborted!
n-1<6739> ssi:boot:base:linear: booting n0 (swingle)
n-1<6739> ssi:boot:base:linear: booting n1 (swingle3)
n-1<6739> ssi:boot:base:linear: finished
lamboot did NOT complete successfully

Tks,
