[torqueusers] Dependencies being ignored from some submit hosts.

[John Hanks]

Reverse lookups are consistent from both hosts, and hostA is the
primary nameserver for itself and submitA, so they should be getting
their answers from the same place.

[root at hostA hostA]# host hostA
hostA.hpc.usu.edu has address 192.168.0.1
[root at hostA hostA]# host 192.168.0.1
1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer hostA.hpc.usu.edu.

user at submitA ~ $ host hostA
hostA.hpc.usu.edu has address 192.168.0.1
user at submitA ~ $ host 192.168.0.1
1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer hostA.hpc.usu.edu.

qmgr -c 'p s' shows this for the server configuration:

set server scheduling = True
set server default_queue = route
set server log_events = 511
set server mail_from = adm
set server query_other_jobs = True
set server scheduler_iteration = 60
set server node_check_rate = 150
set server tcp_timeout = 6
set server log_level = 1
set server pbs_version = 2.2.1
set server submit_hosts = submitA

I'm bumping up my personal "clueless" status to Orange.

Thanks,
