Package: munge Version: 0.5.13-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
munged fails to start at system boot. From sample journal entries: Jul 16 22:17:56 ron5sid systemd[1]: munge.service: Start operation timed out. Terminating. Jul 16 22:19:26 ron5sid systemd[1]: munge.service: State 'stop-final-sigterm' timed out. Killing. Jul 16 22:19:26 ron5sid systemd[1]: munge.service: Killing process 723 (munged) with signal SIGKILL. Jul 16 22:19:26 ron5sid systemd[1]: munge.service: Failed with result 'timeout'. Jul 16 22:19:26 ron5sid systemd[1]: Failed to start MUNGE authentication service. ... deleted ... Jul 16 22:20:21 ron5sid kernel: random: crng init done Jul 16 22:20:21 ron5sid kernel: random: 7 urandom warning(s) missed due to ratelimiting I've included the latter part because I suspect munged timeout is caused by too long a delay reading /dev/urandom or /dev/random, causing systemd to time it out. As a workaround, I inserted this is the [Service] section of /lib/systemd/system/munge.service: TimeoutSec=60s With that in place, munged starts successfully at boot, at least for the few restarts I've done. I haven't tried to find a lower timeout value than 60s. I don't know how long this problem has been present, but no earlier than 01 July, because I ran some tests under Slurm then. Perhaps it started around the time Sid got the 4.17 kernel, which I installed 03 July. Wasn't there a 4.17 change in kernel random number generation which might have introduced (more) blocking on early random number fetches? I'm runing Sid in a VM under VMware Workstation Player 14.1.2 hosted on Windows 7 on a fairly quick laptop. Other setups and hardware would have different entropy generation characteristics so maybe not all munge installations will see this problem. Severity rating "important" is based on Slurm batch system being useless without Munge service.
