Thanks, that what I want to do too, but I thought if it is impossible
because ssh is needed for seting up a cluster. From what I understand:

 * for an user to run pbs jobs, master and clients should have that user
on their passwd/shadow/group files
 * configure ssh server on clients to prohibit certain users

Is that right?
