+Remote Desktop outside of a [batch] job
+=======================================

+
+I seem to recall there was a previous post that said work was being
+done to create an OOD app that would provide a Remote Desktop
+connection to a node (possibly in a pool of nodes) that is outside of
+scheduler control; i.e., is like a login node.
+
+We used to have a generic 'Linux login' pool of machines that was
+accessed via a DNS round-robin address that people could log into
+without having to have a cluster account, for which there was no
+billing, etc. In other words, just a login node.
+
+We would like to enable such a thing using OOD to provide a graphical
+desktop as well as a terminal.
+
+Is such an app available or in progress?
+
+Thanks, – bennet

+Bennet: I believe you are looking for our ‘linux host adapter’
