Hmmm. It's fairly important for them to be able to rlogin to each
machine. They really want to be able to get to each box and run programs
a certain way. Is it possible to set up a custom install on each machine
that still has the beowulf modifications (and can join the cluster) yet is
also an independent and full linux box? Would I simply have to run
bpslave on a node to bring it into the cluster?
Thanks for the other info, BTW.
