[mvapich-discuss] RE: Could you upgrade "mpirun_rsh" command

[Jonathan Perkins]

Sorry for the delay in replying.  We spent some time reviewing the
options for satisfying this request.  At first glance this issue seems
like it can be better suited to be handled by other mechanisms but I
haven't found any that handles the dynamic setting of a user's effective
group id on a remote machine.  It also doesn't seem trivial to setup the
requested behavior using wrapper script(s) while being friendly enough
for the general user.  Because of this, I think that it may be warranted
to provide a command line option to mpirun_rsh that tells mpispawn to
change its gid to that provided.

I'm not sure if this will make it into our upcoming release.  If not, we
can release this as a patch to you in the meantime and make it generally
available in the next minor or patch release for those who are
interested.

So if you don't have much time for fix the symptom. Please let me know who should I ask. If we have to fix this symptom for own coding. We are afraid that we have to fix mpirun_rsh command every MVAPICH2 version up.

Our Satoshi Isono had asked that we had confirmed that all putting files owner were changed before group when change the Liux group using newgrp command and submit job using "mpirun_rsh" command. Bill in university of Texas had answered that insert "/usr/bin/sg `id -gn`" command line in between MPI option and execution binary name. We had confirmed that most patter submission was resolved on this way. However some submission patter using "sg" command affected to user program.
