Are you still using old Molpro built by GA with TCGMSG? If so, the default
connection across nodes is rsh. One can use ssh instead of rsh by
changing environment variable TCGRSH, e.g.

export TCGRSH=/usr/bin/ssh

for bash shell.

Or you can add the option --tcgssh in the command line (try bin/molpro 
--help to see  if option --tcgssh is available for your installation first).



Best wishes,
