How resource allocation limits map to slot limits earlier than LSF version 7

Job slot limits are the only type of limit you can configure in lsb.users, lsb.hosts, and lsb.queues. You cannot configure limits for user groups, host groups, and projects in lsb.users, lsb.hosts, and lsb.queues. You should not configure any new resource allocation limits in lsb.users, lsb.hosts, and lsb.queues. Use lsb.resources to configure all new resource allocation limits, including job slot limits.
