If you mount the home directory via NFS (Network File System), then no
matter which machine you login to, you will see the same home directory.
And then you don't have to install NAMD on every machine at your home
directory.

Yes. It can be changed to be longer as you may have already done.
Your PrP.namd test I ran yesterday seems not stable, it gave some wierd
energy result (99999.99), that was why I used Apoa1 benchmark which is
supposed to work.

make sure you nodelist does not have same node twice like you did in
nodelist file:
host machine1 192.168.0.56
remove either the machine name or the IP.

Good. If you have problem running your own atom system, chances are
either your atom input is not good or there is bug in NAMD calculation
itself. Let us know and other people can help you with the questions
regarding to NAMD physics calculation :-).
