Hi Frank,
You must update Slurm to a more recent version due to a configless bug
that existed in early versions of 20.02.

Hello all,
sorry if this has been asked and/or answered before. I couldn’t find a
posting related to my problem.
I’m using slurm 20.02.01 and use a configless – set-up for all login and
compute nodes.
I set-up slurm PAM on a test node following the instructions at
https://slurm.schedmd.com/pam_slurm_adopt.html.
Without the ‘existance’ of /etc/slurm/slurm.conf (and world readable
permissions for all dirs and the file) I see the following error message
in /messages/ or /journal/:
error: s_p_parse_file: unable to status file /etc/slurm/slurm.conf: No
such file or directory, retrying in 1sec up to 60sec
The effect is that it takes awful long to login to the node.
Once I copy the slurm.conf (actually the thing I tried to avoid
utilizing the configless set-up), the ssh login is permit without
latency if a job is running and not allowed if no jobs are running for
the user trying to access the node. Does anyone know a workaround
(besides ‘mine’) or solution to fix this? Many thanks in advance.
