Does it rely on remote-logins and .rhost permissions on the target machines? Is it possible to have a command be executed on a remote shell in a simple format like 'host:command', and its result fed back to the user on the machine the command was originally sent from? In all, what I would like to know is wether or not it is possible to unify a set on unix machines as much as possible, beyond mounting their respective filesystems, that is some kind of sharing of processor power and resources without resorting to specialized microkernels (i.e. QNX). Any references will too be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Marc
