[Beowulf] block runing jobs individually on each node

[Reuti]

Hi,

disable rsh/ssh completely. Instead have a queue on each node for an 
interactive login. This way they will get a bash as child from the pbs_mom, and 
you can control the maximum runtime.

If you need still ssh for admin usage: limit the access to the conventional ssh 
in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf to some users:

AllowUsers jerry

Cheers - Reuti

PS: Another solution: set an ulimit for the maximum runtime for an interactive 
login in /etc/profile.local.
