Hi Andrea,

I don't want to use the pre-installed OpenMPI environment since the executables ? have to use are compiled with Intel softwares. So I have my private CentOS AMI created from aws console with all the Intel environment pre-installed. The problem is that IntelMPI uses by default ssh connectivity without password authentication to make nodes communicate amoung them to work. I want to know if there is some feauture in the config starcluster file such that ssh connectivity intra nodes comes pre setted with rsa authentication. I have read that this feauture should be enabled by default with the sgeadmin user, but when i launch the cluster at a certain point I received this error:
