[torqueusers] Permissions on /var in slave node

[Coyle, James J [ITACD]]

Abraham,

  You or someone else with root privileges has somehow changed permissions
on /var so that anyone can write to it, and without the sticky bit set, anyone could
remove any file/directory in /var.

  Try issuing:

chmod   go-w /var

chmod ugo+rwx /var/spool/torque/spool
chmod o+t /var/spool/torque/spool

to see if the problem goes away.
