Add the Linux PAM support in LSF

Dear all,

we have several applications unable to work properly when they are executed by launching Vnc jobs.

We receive several dbus and dconf error messages which can be traced back to the fact that the directory /run/user/$uid isn’t found.

This lead to a user environment not set and as a consequence the user variables used by applications are missing.  

 Usually, when user logon the host, /run/user/$uid is created by pam_systemd and used for storing files used by running processes for that user. When a user logs out, and no active sessions remain, pam_systemd will remove the /run/user/$uid directory.

As you stated in CASE TS017274952, LSF does not use "ssh" or "rsh" to start jobs. When a job runs on execution host, sbatchd and res do not call pam_systemd by default, so "/run/user/$uid" is not created.

 Our requirement is to have the Linux PAM support in LSF to be able to set properly the user variables used by application launched via Vnc job.

Many thanks in advance for your support and collaboration

Kind regards
