Apple Qadministrator
Use the Apple Qadministrator application to create and modify Apple Qmaster
clusters. Apple Qadministrator can be used on any computer that is on the same
network as the cluster you want to administer. With the administrative password (if
one was created), you can also use Apple Qadministrator to see and modify existing
clusters on the network.
For details about using Apple Qadministrator, see:
