It works, but doesnt really give the performance jump you would expect. Since most of the processes are I/O (networking and communication with the parent process) there is a ton of overhead involved in spawning off and load balancing those procs. If you want to give it a shot, I recommend you put two NIC's in each machine and supply a dedicated switch for the MOSIX backend network. - [EMAIL PROTECTED]: general discussions about Nessus. * To unsubscribe, send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe nessus" in the body.
