the vignette to the library(parallel) mentions snow repeatedly (esp
differences in its implementation in parallel from the original).
unfortunately, it doesn't give an example or tutorial for
multi-machine use with sockets.

could someone please point me to a simple working example, where a
master just has both itself and a 4-core slave on a second machine
(IP), and wants to execute an mclapply on a list on both machines,
like

    master.ip<- "localhost"
    slave.ip<- "Rfriend@192.168.2.10"  ## has key ssh access
    mclapply( 1:100, function(x) { cat(x); Sys.sleep(1); x } )  # on both, 
please

With appropriate ssh keys that do not need passwords and with the same username on all machines, it should work out of the box. At least, it does for me:

Say you want two, one on your own machine, the other one on your friends:

 cl <- makeCluster(c("localhost", "192.168.2.10"), "SOCK")

Dear R experts:

could someone please point me to a page that explains how to set up
more than 1 machine for library parallel (which is quickly becoming my
favorite!)
