[torqueusers] pbs_mom no password entry for user: RESOLVED

[Mary Ellen Fitzpatrick]

I found my error.
The /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/config file on the head and compute node 
had an incorrect entry to write to.
$usecp *:/home  /home           # /home NFS mounted on all hosts

I changed to
$usecp nona-man:/fs/data1 /fs/data1

I am able to get out put files delievered to /fs/data1/mef.

Not sure why it was giving the "no password entry" error...   That error 
message seems misleading for the problem.

Thanks to everyone for you help.
