Allowing users to bypass PBS-Professional Scheduler to SSH directly into the Compute Node


For some special users like Adminsitrators, who needs to SSH directly into the compute instead of submitting to the scheduler with using root, you may want to do the following:

At the Compute Node

# vim /var/spool/pbs/mom_priv/config

Find the $restrict_user_exceptions

$clienthost 192.168.x.x
$clienthost 192.168.y.y
$restrict_user_maxsysid 999
$restrict_user True
$restrict_user_exceptions user1
$usecp *:/home/ /home/

Restart the PBS Service

# /etc/init.d/pbs restart
