The same problem here. I couldn't understand why mpich wasn't picking up any
changes made to the machines.LINUX file placed correctly in the directory
/usr/share/mpich . After reading this bug report I placed machines.LINUX in
/usr/share and, as if by magic, mpirun finally picks up hostnames from machines.LINUX as it should.

Should be fixed in 1.2.6-r1.
