Tru,
nvidia-smi is not a cuda program, it's just a driver utility. Please check
if you can run other cuda programs, maybe one example from the cuda sdk,
because I don't think it's a namd problem. You can also look to the namd
source where the message about non available gpus is generated and see what
command fails (I will check that also). It looks like your user has no
permission to list the available devices. So check what is the difference
between local users and non-local (bashrc,LD_LIBRARY_PATH...,cuda-toolkit).
Check with "ldd namd2" if local and non-local users use the same shared
librarys.
