Sigh - as C.H. has pointed out, there are a few problems.

Suggestions:
Apart from excluding any files with i/o operations, you would probably want
to test-parse any files on the server and only distribute those files that
parsed within a fixed time limit. You might also want to exclude any files
over a certain file size.

You would need to exclude files with radiosity (or warn submitters that the
results will be unreliable).

Still, this could be very nice for some kinds of scenes, such as nice big
isosurfaces or photons.

If you get far enough, I'd be happy to donate some cycles - provided you can
ensure that file i/o is prevented (didn't the guy who runs the render farm
have problems with some bu%$er submitting a pov-virus?)


should it be bu%%er or is bu$%er okay?
