[torqueusers] pbs_mom no password entry for user

[Mary Ellen Fitzpatrick]

Hi,
I have installed/configured torque-2.3.1 and maui-3.2.6p18 on my head 
node, nona-man.   I thought I had everything configured correctly, but 
apparantly not.


When I submit a test job, I get the following error on compute node1003
07/31/2008 15:52:55;0008;   pbs_mom;Job;process_request;request type 
CopyFiles from host nona-man allowed

file 'nona-man:/home/mef/test3.out'

fork_to_user, cannot find user 'mef' in password file
07/31/2008 15:52:55;0080;   pbs_mom;Req;req_reject;Reject reply 
code=15023(Bad UID for job execution REJHOST=node1003 MSG=cannot find 
user 'mef' in password file), aux=0, type=CopyFiles, from 
PBS_Server at nona-man

But I can run ypcat passwd on node1003 and the account mef is listed.  
Not sure why I am getting that error.

Also, the error about Bad UID for job execution, my qmgr lists acl_hosts 
and server submit hosts as:
set server acl_host_enable = True
set server acl_hosts = *
set server acl_hosts += nona-man
set server submit_hosts += nona-man

/var/log/messages on the head node has the following errors:
Jul 31 15:52:20 nona-man PBS_Server: stream_eof, connection to node1003 
is bad, remote service may be down, message may be corrupt, or 
connection may have been dropped remotely (End of File).  setting node 
state to down

in password file' - returning failure

when run pbsnodes -a, node1003 is listed as "free".

And just in case that is not enough, maui crashes as indicated by the 
segfault above.

any advice/help would be great
