The problem seems to be that every reasonably competent admin seems to write his or her own tools for "cluster" syncronization and management but few bother to refine them to the extent that they're generally palatable to others. We're about 5 or 6 machines short of a "respectable" cluster of 32 or so general-purpose machines at freebsd.org but could rectify this problem fairly quickly if there were to arise a group of people interested in "tackling the clustering problem", generally speaking. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
