HI LAM community
I fixed the problem with my superfluous text, but I am greeted sumararily
with new problems:
When I type lamboot -v lamhostfile I now get the following output (when
trying to boot to one distil node):
__________________________________________________________________________

LAM attempted to execute a process on the remote node "192.168.1.2",
but received some output on the standard error. This heuristic
assumes that any output on the standard error indicates a fatal error,
and therefore aborts. You can disable this behavior (i.e., have LAM
ignore output on standard error) in the rsh boot module by setting the
SSI parameter boot_rsh_ignore_stderr to 1.
LAM tried to use the remote agent command "rsh"
to invoke "hboot" on the remote node.

This can indicate an authentication error with the remote agent, or
can indicate an error in your $HOME/.cshrc, $HOME/.login, or
$HOME/.profile files. The following is a (non-inclusive) list of items
that you should check on the remote node:
- You have an account and can login to the remote machine
- Incorrect permissions on your home directory (should
probably be 0755)
- Incorrect permissions on your $HOME/.rhosts file (if you are
using rsh -- they should probably be 0644)
- You have an entry in the remote $HOME/.rhosts file (if you
are using rsh) for the machine and username that you are
running from
- Your .cshrc/.profile must not print anything out to the
standard error
- Your .cshrc/.profile should set a correct TERM type
- Your .cshrc/.profile should set the SHELL environment
variable to your default shell
Try invoking the following command at the unix command line:
rsh 192.168.1.2 -n hboot -t -c lam-conf.lamd -v -s -I '"-H
192.168.1.1 -P 33693 -n 1 -o 0"'
You will need to configure your local setup such that you will *not*
be prompted for a password to invoke this command on the remote node.
No output should be printed from the remote node before the output of
the command is displayed.
When you can get this command to execute successfully by hand, LAM
will probably be able to function properly.

____________________________________________________________________________
I am rather confused by the error message, specifically because it implies
that lam is trying to run hboot on the distant node, and hboot only exists
on the server...i tried installing of lam binaries on the node also, but
this didn't change the error message.
I'm totally at sea as to why this may be. Please help!
Thankyou
Hayden Eastwood

I wouldn't look for echo statements, I'd look for "man" statements
(i.e., that looks like an error from the "man" command).
This is something that is going to be specific to your local setup,
and there isn't much that we can do to help you find it -- look again
in your .bashrc files (if you're a bash user) and perhaps in the
various shell startup files in /etc. You might want to put echo
statements in your own .bashrc (etc.) as a search method to try to
pin down where/when the errant command is coming from.

-x is for fault tolerant mode, meaning errors on the network
transport -- not errors in startup. You can, however, instruct
lamboot to ignore output on stderr during rsh-based boots by setting
the SSI parameter
boot_rsh_ignore_stderr
to 1. You can do this with:
shell$ lamboot -ssi boot_rsh_ignore_stderr 1 ...
or
shell$ export LAM_MPI_SSI_boot_rsh_ignore_stderr 1
shell$ lamboot ...
Hope that helps.
