Its kind of a p= itch to university authorities to show them how this work so they can think= on investing top dollars on it. We have a bunch of workstations running F= reeBSD=2C However as i been reading through the documentation=2C the canoni= cal situacion would be a environment where the machines netboot over the se= rver=2C get most of their partitions over NFS and have NIS installed so use= rs can authenticate at the server and share resources available at the clus= ter.=20 >=20 not an answer to your question=2C but you might be interested by this http:= //mini-itx.com/projects/cluster/ might give you some insight into what you are looking for -Sean
