I think what you may be looking for is using some kind of shared filesystem (I like coda myself, it's very secure, and uses kerberos), in combination with kerberos for authentication, and hesiod for user, and host information. This is basically what we use here at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA. We have about 1200 machines clustered together with about 45000 total active users. We don't use coda though, we use AFS. I suggest coda for FreeBSD because there is no AFS for FreeBSD that is really stable. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D | Kenneth Culver=09 | FreeBSD: The best OS around. | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: AgRSkaterq=09 | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park.=09=09 | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D On Thu, 4 Nov 1999, Artem Koutchine wrote: > Hi! >=20 > I have heard that there is some kind of > clustering software which comes with Linux, but i have > never heard about FreeBSD clustering software.
