I would appreciate trying to fix the multi-word argument to orte_launch_agent, unless you've already fixed it in a later series in which case I could update. My workaround with the setuid applied to a copied executable doesn't work for other applications that run on our clusters ( I mean their

Hi Ed I finally had some time to dig around a little. I believe we could make this work if I fix the multi-word cmd line param issue. Either "newgrp" or "sg" should resolve the problem - both are user-level cmds. Up to you - let me know if you want me to pursue this. Ralph On Sep 14, 2011, at

You could set the setuid bit on the application and chown it to root?? It is about as secure as anything else that has been described thus far. As a system admin, I cringe at the thought of anything that would allow something to run as someone else, so there would have to be a pretty good justif

Thanks for trying. Do you feel that this is an impossible request without the assistance of some process running as root, for example, as Reuti mentioned, the daemons of a job scheduler? Or are you saying it will just not be as straightforward as calling setgid as you had hoped? Also, do you

The attached should set the gid of the remote daemons (and their children) to the gid of mpirun. No cmd line option or anything is required - it will just always do it. Would you mind giving it a try? Please let me know if/how it works. 14setgid.diff Description: Binary data On Sep 8, 2011
