Re: {bb} Multiple nodes on one host

["Urs Krolzig" <urs.krolzig@bluewin.ch>]

Hi Rolf

I know it's along time ago since you sent this request, but now i have had 
this problem also. I fixed it with multiple instances of the whole bb 
client. Each instance has it's own user and bb client environment. this way 
it's also possible to have different BBDISPLAY and BBPAGER servers 
configured for all the clients.

Maybe there are other, better solutions, but this works and is also easy to 
maintain.

Regards Urs
