The change was here: https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/52086a9bc0ff2aefbac468e2ec19d2a8687a9797 Which references this bug: https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4101 where Tim wrote: # although I'm confident the original intent was never to expose this # to non-root users, as this was done as a compatibility mechanism # with Moab/Maui which would have been running as root anyways. So it appears they didn't think it was being used in this way at all. All the best, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
