Prevent non-LSF users from running computing jobs on hosts

The customer would like LSF to include a functionality, where LSF prevents non-LSF users from accessing an LSF host's computing resources. This includes even access via rsh, ssh, or similar methods alike. The purpose of this function is so that LSF fully controls the usage of computing resources. Can this functionality please be added? Thanks for your help in advance.

    There is one example to use Linux PAM module to control access of LSF hosts, https://github.com/IBMSpectrumComputing/lsf-plugins/tree/master/pam_lsf

    LSF itself does not require login access to a node, so you can set /etc/nologin to prevent login/rsh/ssh to the machine.
