[torqueusers] How to rip out user validation?

[Nate Woody]

Chris,
Gotcha, I've just never noticed the ruserok checks in regular
submission until I've messed with -u or submit hosts because of
hosts.equiv being configured.  Seems obvious in hindsight, I suppose.

Thanks for the clarification!

Best,
Nate
