[torqueusers] Privileged port usage

[Laurence Dawson]

As we have been debugging some RMFailure problems, we noticed that 
torque has been allocated ports in the <1024 range for connections to 
the moms at port 15002. We don't know whether this is a problem or not, 
but it seems strange. Does anyone know why this might be happening.
Is there anyone else out there that sees this occurring? We do run 
pbs_server as root. We are running  moab-4.5.0p4 and torque-2.1.0p0.
