Re: [Beowulf] Restricting users from ssh into nodes

2013-07-23 Thread Chandler Wilkerson
We currently use a pam access setup like that: # cat /etc/security/access.conf -:ALL EXCEPT admins root:ALL Then if users need access to the node while running jobs, we can do a prolog/epilog that adds another line to allow in the user (then remove once the job is done) This can become a mess

I'm not sure how useful this may be, but these may also be suitable in certain environments simplest: touch /etc/nologin and, similarly granular to the option below you could edit: (Ubuntu / Debian file location) /etc/security/access.conf Pete I am a novice when it comes to how clusters work.

Over the years there have been several discussions on this list on how to prevent users sshing into compute cluster nodes, and so circumventing the batch system. Reading the PBSPro manual, I just found the Mom parameter $restrict_user Set this to true, and any (non-system) users who are not runni
