I've unset all the resources_*.nodes settings for the queue and gotten maui/torque to actually read the ncpus= value from the PBS script file since this is actually what sets the PROC limit. According to the source src/moab/MJob.c line 11483, ncpus is tied to the PROC limit. Also the comment in src/moab/MPBSI.c on line 1676 validates this. However, for some reason ncpus was not being read previously from the pbs script file even when all references to resources_*.ncpus were unset in qmgr. Now that I know how to get the PROC resource limit to change, I'll play around with the qmgr settings again to try to set limits before a user even submits a job. Then I'll test to see if these limits are enforced for MPI programs (across nodes).
