Gary/Josh,

That's good to hear since we're using the last open source version of SGE
and the commands should all be similar.  Recently I've made to the Petunia
web interface (tpp_gui.pl) that should also work for you.   What I've done
is made two simple modifications  The first will prepend the "qrsh" to the
list of commands.  That way the commands are submitted to the cluster
instead of running locally on the web server.  The second (and more
controversial) change does yet another prepend to the command list, this
time using "sudo" to switch to the logged in user.  Since Petunia already
has a undocumented feature that allows you to change its authentication
mechanism  (we happen to use this to use LDAP to authenticate our TPP
users) this then allows one to make sure jobs are submitted as the
appropriate user.

I've tested this out on our development systems here at ISB and it seems to
work pretty well.  We haven't deployed it into production yet for as you
can imagine the security implications of having a CGI script using sudo and
being tied to a cluster are significant.  We do intend to eventually roll
some solution like this but only after we can change our current system
configuration.  (Our IT wants to ensure the web server node is locked down
and strictly controlled before they'll let any program use sudo so freely).

If your interested I could share the code with you now -- or you can wait
until we release 4.7 which will have said hooks in place with hopefully
some documentation.

-Joe
