Josh,

   I pass it the list of nodes from PBS using $PBS_NODEFILE.
Is it looking for a default hostfile that is perhaps different
than what I pass to lamboot?
   Also, I don't see any etc subdirectories for the installation.
Does this directory get installed be default? (I want to pass
instructions along to the admin in case he needs to rebuild it).

Thanks!

Jeff
