Hi,
I have been trying to use WMPI0.95 to make one NT workstation
communicate  with another UNIX machine running MPICH 1.0.13. The NT has
iserv_p4.exe running. But neither NT nor other UNIX machine can "rsh"
this
NT machine. Any attempt of starting "cpi" in MPICH examples suite failed
with "NT  connection refused"
From my experience of installion MPICH over workstation clusters, "rsh"
is crucial before any success.

Anyone who have experience of NT workstation clusters running WMPI
please can you tell me:

1. Do you have NT workstation clusters working?
    What extras you need to install on NT workstation ? "rshd" ?

2. Can you have NT workstation work with other UNIX machines running
MPICH?
    what software are needed on NT to achieve this?

Thanks
