Here's something quite baffling. I have a cluster running slurm but have not setup passwordless ssh for a user yet. So when the user runs "mpirun -n 2 -hostfile hosts hostname", it will hang because of ssh issue. That is expected.

Now the baffling thing is the mpirun command works inside a slurm script! How can it work if passwordless ssh has not been configured? Does slurm use some different authentication (munge?) to login to the hosts and execute the hostname command?

Or does slurm have some fancy behind the scenes integration with Intel mpi ?
