[R] multi-machine parallel setup?

Dear R experts:

could someone please point me to a page that explains how to set up
more than 1 machine for library parallel (which is quickly becoming my
favorite!)

my dream setup would be a design where I just pass a list of
hostnames:user:password to my parallel master, and then start R
listener processes on each of my slaves by hand.  R would start slave
processes automatically on each slave that has a a listener running.

I don't have the time/ability to set up full clustering
quasi-supercomputer solutions.

/iaw
