when I type ssh root@hostname from one of the nodes the following lines are seen, Success What manual page do you want? Connection to hostname closed.

The first line is fine, however I do not understand what the second line is about...?

--> The second line is probably caused by a misconfigured call to the "man" command. I had this problem when installing the Intel Fortran compiler IFC and executing the script /opt/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin/ifcvars.sh in the ~/.bashrc file. Change the line MANPATH="/opt/intel/compiler70/man":$(man -w); export MANPATH to MANPATH="/opt/intel/compiler70/man"; export MANPATH and it will work without the line you get above. If it's not IFC, it's probably some other start-up script that has the "man -w" command which causes the error message.
