There is no technical problem with having multiple computers doing multiple
workloads using the same username and password. But for statistics I recomend
you to have diffrent names (password could be the same). For example I use
AlbertProg and AlbertOffice to separate my two computers (otherwise they would
be visible as one very powerful computer). If you have a multiple CPU machine
I'd recommend that you use the same name/pass for all the clients running on
that machine (no multi-cpu support).
