Alfred, can you provide more info on this? In ports the only things I see are clusterit-1.3 and pvm. Clusterit may work, but it's webpage at http://www.inficad.com/~garbled/clusterit.html doesn't even mention FreeBSD as being one of the OS's it works on. Pvm is what the Purdue ACME system uses. I may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading that they had to modify it a lot. Are there other clustering tools you know of? Do you know what the gohan ports building machines are clustered with? Any info would be appreciated, Thank you, Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
