Accessible only via Server Admin, Xgrid is Apple's distributed computing service - basically, it allows many computers to process a single task, thus completing that task exponentially more quickly than any one computer could do alone. Configuring the service is easy - just select the service in Server Admin, click the Configure Xgrid Service button, elect to create an Xgrid Host, input your Directory Administrator credentials, and you're done.
You can control how clients authenticate to your Xgrid in the Controller tab within the Settings tab. For convenience's sake, I'll just have my clients authenticate with a simple password.

Now, to get other computers in on the fun, go to the Sharing System Preference pane, go to Xgrid Sharing, and click Configure. Tell your computer to use a specific controller, and input your server name. Under Authentication method, make sure what you put here matches the setting you put in on the server, and then check the service's checkbox to start it up.

As far as I can tell, this is what you get with Who needs Server? Xgrid requires some ports opened on the firewall; at least for administration and probably and for communication with agents, from what I can tell. The agent daemon can, of course, be controlled via the Sharing preference pane, but xgridctl has options for that as well. Unfortunately, job submission now seems to be command-line only via the xgrid utility. Check the man page for syntax.

If you set up your own controller, I would recommend that you leave authentication 'password' and follow this tip to set up a password for the client to connect on the controller: Replies might take a while, though, sorry, still quite busy with the Tiger transition ;- charles charles [ Reply to This ].
