Error: pbs_iff: cannot read reply from pbs_server

I have installed Torque-4.2.6 version. My machine has RHEL 6 Operating System. I have installed through user1 login as it has root permission. It is working properly whenever I execute 'pbsnodes -a' command. If I'm login through user2 onto the same machine, whenever I execute 'pbsnodes -a' then it is throwing the following error.

pbs_iff: cannot read reply from pbs_server No Permission. pbsnodes: cannot connect to server 'node1', error=15007 (Unauthorized Request )

There no such executable as pbs_iff. What could be the problem.? Can anyone help me.?

Solution

  • Here is my experience with PbsPro, I would assume it works similar with Torque.

    What you need is to change the pbs_iff mod to -rwsr-xr-x by:

    chmod 4755 /opt/pbs/.../sbin/pbs_iff

    Refer to the location of pbs_iff file in your system. Note it is in the pbs.../sbin folder instead of the bin folder.
