"normal" user cant ssh into nodes unless there's an active job

[A1ve5]

normal user can't access cluster's compute nodes by sshing into them. This is the error msg: Access denied: user test (uid=5249) has no active jobs on this node.

This doesn't happen in Taito or Aesyle

Could this be pam_slurm.so related?

On Taito it's possible for some CSC users. Most normal users cannot. It is a pam thing yes. Not sure exactly how now but one can allow some groups to get in without slurm jobs.

Probably by adding more groups to the slurm access group variable one can add more: https://github.com/jabl/ansible-role-pam/blob/master/tasks/main.yml

[cscluis@carpo ~]$ salloc -N1 bash salloc: Pending job allocation 2234839 salloc: job 2234839 queued and waiting for resources salloc: job 2234839 has been allocated resources salloc: Granted job allocation 2234839 [cscluis@carpo ~]$ srun hostname ca11 [cscluis@carpo ~]$ ssh ca11 [cscluis@ca11 ~]$

This seems like a quite sensible way to "use" a node.
