This is what I heard. Unfortunately this is an exechost setting and not a queue setting. Otherwise you could have one setting for normal parallel jobs w/o user interface, and another setup in another queue for jobs which need X11 forwarding.

But as the setup of rsh_daemon/rsh_command sometimes causes confusion, becasue the rsh_daemon of the target machine needs to match the rsh_command on the source machine. When you have local setups, care must be taken.

Would it help to put these in the queue defintion? Like with all other entries, you could have specific entries for each queue instance. As the issuing machine might be a submit machine but not an exechost, the default setting without queue instance name will be used there.
