I have set up boinc server and the project can work successfully, but BOINC is typical for volunteer computing, and I wanna the boinc for grid system.I have viewed the web page http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/DesktopGrid, in the web page it tells "Create a custom installer that includes the desired configuration files." and then linked to the page http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Deploying_BOINC_on_networks which confused me a lot.

Firstly,what is the meaning of deploying BOINC on lots of hosts? To put the boinc server on lots of hosts or what?

Secondly where do the configuration files such as acct_mgr_url.xml,acct_mgr_login.xml,project_init.xml locate? On the server or On the client hosts? and in which existing folder or to create a new folder?

Thirdly in the web page it says "For the purposes of this document we will demonstrate attaching to one or more projects using the account_*.xml files", what is the exact name of the file? where shoud I put?

And idea is appreciated!
