Like many users of the Oracle branded SGE I was hopefully assuming
faster and more targeted support would be available from the smart
people who inhabit the users- list. Don't we have a history going back
(like forever?) of doing that?
Univa support is going to be my 2nd stop mainly because I'd expect it to
take longer to open, troubleshoot and resolve via a formal ticketing
system. I think my issue has more to do with PAM and NIS than any deep
SGE issue.
I really have not been paying much mind to the fireworks on this list
recently but if the end result is that people are going to shun Oracle
and Univa customers on this mailing list then let me be the first person
to complain how unfortunate and sad this state of affairs has become.
Will we shun ScalableLogic customers next?
Let me be perfectly blunt as nominal owner of the gridengine.org domain
name - there is nobody on earth who has the authority (informal or
otherwise) to declare that this mailing list can't be used to support or
not-support any particular variant of Grid Engine. We've never given
anyone that authority, nor should we.
I don't want to start an entirely new complaint-fest so let me withdraw
my question. I'll go straight to Univa on this one.

Hi Chris,
I think the best way is to log this as an issue at Univa and we can go from
there. Is this cluster for your personal use or are you configuring it on
behalf of a customer? You can send an email to supp...@univa.com or login to
the support portal http://www.univa.com/support and we can help.
Regards,
Bill.

I'm hands-on with a shiny new cluster running Univa's 8.0.1 release and am
having some issues running jobs as a non-root user via an account that lives in
Active Directory.
isn't Univa offering "Full, Enterprise Class Support"? I thought this is one of
the advantages over the community support for the open source version. So I would assume
they have their own forum/list like Oracle does for their version:

The cluster is the standard sort of RHEL 5.7 based system but we are using
Centrify and in particular the Centrify NIS-gateway-to-ActiveDirectory to
service the cluster nodes without having to license centrify on all nodes in
the cluster.
The user errors I see are familiar ones:
"can't get password entry for user "x". Either user does not exist or NIS
error!"
The confusing thing is that I can SSH into compute nodes as the same user and
both password logins and passwordless SSH work perfectly. It's only when
running under SGE that the jobs fail.
If I had to guess I'd wonder first if SSHD was using Linux /etc/pam.d/ in a way that
"works" while SGE is accessing PAM in some way that we have not configured
properly yet. That's only a guess though.
Does anyone have examples of SGE running via NIS authentication or via
Centrify? Any examples of PAM configuration that were needed to get NIS users
recognized under SGE?
Thanks!
-Chris
