Mark, You might really want to compile torque from source (into an RPM if you'd like) and redistribute that. Every version is a little wonky and those of us that use(d) it often will poke around until we find a version / patch-set that makes us happy and stick with that for a bit. It's not an exact science and newer / higher versions are not always better.
My experience exactly. We used version 2 for quite a while. Never managed to upgrade to version 3 (tried a few times, but didn't invest much of effort). Then we went directly to version 4. Starting trqauthd was the most notable difference. We never use rpms, we just compile torque on master and compute nodes. Compilation is always so straightforward, and never failed, so we didn't bother to package it...

As for the downgrade comment: Perhaps you can't, but, Torque, when it's down, doesn't really hold any state besides the configuration (queues and such), so you should be able to extract that, completely uninstall torque, and reinstall whatever version you want. If 2.x works for you, grab the latest from source, build it, reinstall and throw the config back in.
Hope this helps a little. -Zach (I don't read often, so I might go AWOL)

Hi, folks,
The other admin updated torque without testing it on one machine, and we had Issues. The first I knew was when a user reported qstat returning socket_connect_unix failed: 15137 socket_connect_unix failed: 15137 socket_connect_unix failed: 15137 qstat: cannot connect to server (null) (errno=15137) could not connect to trqauthd
Attempting to restart the pbs_server did the same. Working with my manager, we found: a) torque had been updated from 2.x to 4.2.10, which is huge. b) Apparently, it no longer uses munged. Instead, it uses trqauthd, and that wasn't in the updated packages. c) We could not downgrade!!! d) My manager updated from testing, and installed, and then running trqauthd, and restarting pbs_server, it appears to be working again.
Should I be filing a bug report?
