Hi, I just ran into the same problem and spent several hours on it. It was solved exactly the same way as the bug reporter, thanks to this report.
The problem is probably in how the server recognises itself. In the logs (in /var/spool/torque/server_logs/) I saw things like: 01/16/2012 13:25:22;0006;PBS_Server;Svr;PBS_Server;Server <fqdn> started, initialization type = 4 And now I have: 01/16/2012 15:30:47;0006;PBS_Server;Svr;PBS_Server;Server localhost started, initialization type = 4 This, although I have set the fqdn in /etc/torque/server_name It probably didn't recognise the user from localhost as authorised as stated by: 01/16/2012 13:20:42;0080;PBS_Server;Req;req_reject;Reject reply code=15007(Unauthorized Request ), aux=0, type=Manager, from root@localhost Now setting the same IP for localhost and hostname, torque seem to know that @localhost users are also allowed. This happens with command line, not only with x11 client. Should probably reassign to torque-server package? -- Jonathan Michalon IT student in Strasbourg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
