[torqueusers] -lnodes=X ignored??

[Jeremy Enos]

With the help of Peter Enstrom and his test cluster, we were able to 
track down the root of the problem.  It's the following instruction in 
the included torque.setup script:

set server resources_available.nodect = 99999

It doesn't matter what the value is set to; having it set at all causes 
the issue.  Moab will mask this issue since it hands down a specific 
node list, so that may explain why others haven't seen it yet.
We fixed the problem simply by doing:
qmgr -c "unset server resources_available.nodect"

The torque.setup script in 2.1.9 didn't set the bad parameter, but it 
was retained in the PBS database when I downgraded w/o blowing away the 
database.  The torque.setup script in 2.2.1 certainly should be fixed 
though.
thx-
