We have a number of machines that share a common home directory but have
separate perfsonar and pscheduler installs, so the uid and gid of the
pscheduler user and the /home/pscheduler directory don't match.

What is /home/pscheduler used for, and is it necessary to have it
correctly owned or writeable on every machine?

It's a holdover from early development and doesn't serve any useful purpose.
Having the wrong UID/GID shouldn't affect anything for existing installs.
New ones might try to create something in /home and fail depending on how
your file services are set up.

We have an issue open on the account not being a system user
(https://github.com/perfsonar/pscheduler/issues/694), and this fits nicely
with the cleanups involved for that. Expect a change to be released in
perfSONAR 4.1.5; the ticket already contains release notes for it.
