You can use /opt/score/install/setup command to install device, init.d
and local directory:
    # cd .TN/opt/score/install*B
    # ./setup -score_comp
Please see
    /opt/score/doc/html/en/installation/sys-compute-fromsrc.html

Probably, SCORE_RSH is work most SCore commands expect scout and PBS.

scout is not worked SCORE_RSH, because scout use rsh to inter-compute hosts.
For example, if you want to scout to 4 hosts (comp0, comp1, comp2, comp3),

scout execute as following:
1. scout execute scremote to comp0
      your_host% rsh comp0 scremote ...
2. scremote on comp0 execute scremote to comp1
      comp0% rsh comp1 scremote ...
3. scremote on comp1 execute scremote to comp2
      comp1% rsh comp2 scremote ...
3. scremote on comp2 execute scremote to comp3
      comp2% rsh comp3 scremote ...
If scout use SCORE_RSH, you cannot use ssh-agent to execute scout.

But if you run scoutd on compute hosts,
scout use scoutd insted of rshd.
So you may stop rshd on compute hosts.
