[torqueusers] restrict users to maximim number of nodes.

[Jerry Smith]

If you are using Maui, you may use:

http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui/docs/policynote-3.0.shtml

USERCFG<Y> <X> =<SOFTLIMIT>[,<HARDLIMIT>]

So for all users you can say

USERCFG[DEFAULT]  MAXNODEPERUSER=70,70   ##Soft and hard limits both at 70
