GridEngine (SGE) is an opensource batch system used in parallel clusters (Linux
clusters, beowulf, compute farms, and Grid). When interactive users need
machines in the cluster, they need to go through SGE. SGE starts the rsh/rshd
pair so that users process will be tracked. Note that the rsh daemon is not a
vanilla rshd, the one shipped with SGE has hooks allow process relationships.

Then users only want to use SSH, and the following HOWTO was written:

However, in order to get a fully functional SGE-SSH integration, some hooks
needs to be added in sshd (specifically: sshd.c).
