	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
