[torqueusers] job submission from remote hosts

[Neelesh Arora]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the default behavior of acl_host_enable and 
acl_hosts parameters in torque server and queue config. According to the 
manuals, default value of acl_host_enable is false, which allows all 
remote hosts to submit jobs to the server. But this isn't working.

We have torque-2.0.0p2 and without changing the default values of these 
parameters, a remote host (with pbs client commands only) fails to 
submit jobs to our main pbs_server. The error returned is "qsub: Bad UID 
for job execution". The passwd file entries are the same on these two 
machines, so the UID does match.

Am I missing something here?

There are references to the ALLOWCOMPUTEHOSTSUBMIT and SUBMITHOSTS 
parameters in the torque.cfg file, at other places on this forum. Are 
these torque.cfg entries required, even with the above mentioned pbs 
configs? What's the relation between these two sets of config parameters?

Thanks.
