Please excuse me for the newbie question. I'm trying to set up private mining pool with pool.py and one question bothers me:

Should the standart client be in generate mode to allow the remote miners to generate coins?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I don't believe that the generate setting has any bearing on the getwork process.

You have to run bitcoin in 'daemon' mode - ie server mode. As far as I know that is the only requirement. You naturally then have to point each GENERATING client to that server ie "http://192.168.1.xx:8332" or something of that sort depending on what is the IP of the machine where the bitcoin daemon is running on.
