Sure, of cause I agree (and secure people will agree as well) that this is a
bad practice in general. 

But:

1. On computing clusters usually all ports (except several) are closed for
external interfaces.
2. PBS Pro pbs_sched and pbs_mom listen to any (ok, lets suppose for now there
are no security people in PBS Pro team).
3. TORQUE pbs_server listens to any:
tcp  0      0 0.0.0.0:15001     0.0.0.0:*    LISTEN   3682/pbs_server 

Could you, please, explain if you follow the rule "do not listen to any" then
why TORQUE pbs_server does not follow this rule as well?
