After installing per 

https://docs.perfsonar.net/install_debian.html

on BeagleBone Black, pscheduler did not, in general, function. Typical response when asking for apparently-any task is:

>localhost: Process took too long to run.

After copying pscheduler auth rules from a working toolkit to /etc/postgresql/9.6/main/pg_hba.conf and also copying the limits file from a CentOS toolkit, I am able to run tests to the Beaglebone from a remote pscheduler host, but still unable to intitate tests from the Beaglebone itself. 

[sidebar: how does one check the installed version of pscheduler?]

'troubleshoot' gets:

>root@beaglebone:/etc/pscheduler/tool/iperf3# pscheduler troubleshoot

>Performing basic troubleshooting of localhost.

>

>Checking for pScheduler on localhost... OK.

>Idle test on localhost... Failed.

>  Unable to post task: Unable to determine participants: Process took too long to run.

Does anyone recognize a symptom, or know of a shortcoming that prevents the pscheduler command line from working here?
