[torqueusers] BUG_REPORT: User job causes pbs_sched to abort when -W group_list= used and user not a member of the group

[James J Coyle]

Torque design team,

  Just reporting a bug which I found when accommodating an accounting request.

  If 

-W group_list=fakegroup

is used in a job script or on the qsub command, pbs_sched aborts.
This is true whether the group does not exist or if fakegoup exists
and the user is not a member of that group.

  Here fakegroup is on the local machine so there is no @ in it.

  All works OK if the user is a member of the group on the local
machine.

  This is on an Opteron Cluster running
pbs_version = 2.1.2

  I am not running the latest version, but if either the development
team or some admin would test this in the latest version 
that would be appreciated. 

**************************************************************** 
   Make sure you are an ADMIN because any user
can kill pbs_sched this way and you need privileges to start it again.
****************************************************************

  I have a kludge which is a workaround for now.

  (This came from a test to see whether a user could use time from 
another user's account or from a non-existent account.)
