I have not checked on the CentOS7.8 a) if /var/run/munge folder does not exist then please double check whether munge has been installed or not b) user root or sudo user to do ps -ef | grep munge kill -9 <PID> //where PID is the Process ID for munge (if the process is running at all); else
which munged /etc/init.d/munge start please let me know the the output of: $ munge -n $ munge -n | unmunge $ sudo systemctl status --full munge Thanks & Regards, Sudeep Narayan Banerjee System Analyst | Scientist B Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Gujarat, INDIA On Fri, May 29, 2020 at 11:55 AM Bjørn-Helge Mevik <b.h.me...@usit.uio.no> wrote: > Ferran Planas Padros <ferran.pad...@su.se> writes: > > > I run the command as slurm user, and the /var/log/munge folder does > belong to slurm. > > For security reasons, I strongly advise that you run munged as a > separate user, which is unprivileged and not used for anything else. > > -- > Regards, > Bjørn-Helge Mevik, dr. scient, > Department for Research Computing, University of Oslo >
