Does it work as root?  Is pbs_iff setuid root?

Can you run pbs_iff in test mode?   It should go something like this:
   $ pbs_iff -t warp31.physik.tu-chemnitz.de 15001
   $ echo $?
   0

That's good.  MOM<->Server connections don't require a AuthenticateUser
req first, so we know the problem isn't very deep.

Can the server get proper DNS forward and reverse resolution of
nischel1?

If the pbs_iff stuff above is all true, does acl_host_enable=F allow the
client to connect?
