Two actually.
1. This is for the qsub problem: you can add the relevant environment
variables (for Torque) in sites.xml.
2. This is for the DN issue with gt2:gt2:pbs: Edit /etc/hosts and make
sure that the expected DN is the first entry for the internal IP passed
to the coaster service. If the entry is not in there at all, add it.
This is a way to impersonate a Globus service and possibly do a
man-in-the-middle thing, but it may also work to fix the DN mismatch
problem.
