<div>I am curious to know how you do that.</div>

<div><span>Hi Paul,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I'd be interested in seeing your Lua submit script, if you're willing to</span><br>
<span>share.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Until now I had thought that the most elegant way of setting up Slurm</span><br>
<span>users would be via a PAM module analogous to pam_mkhomedir, the simplest</span><br>
<span>option being to use pam_script.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>However, given that we do have users who somehow never get round to</span><br>
<span>submitting a job before their HPC access expires, setting up the Slurm</span><br>
<span>account when the first job is submitted seems quite appealing.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Cheers,</span><br>
