Hi,
Occasionally I need to change a default account and I struggle every
time, possibly because my expectations are incorrect.
However the messages and the manpage seem to me unhelpful:
$ sacctmgr show user alice accounts
User Def Acct Admin
---------- ---------- ---------
alice boblab None
$ sacctmgr add user user=alice defaultaccount=carollab cluster=bigiron
Nothing new added.
$ sacctmgr show user alice accounts
User Def Acct Admin
---------- ---------- ---------
alice boblab None
What does "Nothing new added" mean?
In the manpage for sacctmgr it says:
DefaultAccount=
System wide default account name
Must be defined on the first occurrence of the user.
I find the third line unclear, but I assume it means
Must be specified when the user is created (and cannot be modified
subsequently)
Deleting the user and recreating with the desired defaultaccount is the
only way I have managed change the default account.
Is this really the only way to achieve this?
Cheers,
Loris
