In passing, this does not work on CentOS 7 (don't ask...)
$ rpmbuild -ta --clean munge-0.5.18.tar.xz error: Failed build dependencies: systemd-rpm-macros is needed by munge-0.5.18-1.el7.x86_64
From brief reading, the required macro is provided by the system package on CentOS 7 but munge has an explicit check. As CentOS 7 isn't supported, it's just another reason to get rid of it.
On my Rocky Linux 9/10 systems this worked fine (with appropriate el9/el10), pushed from Foreman:
munged --version rpm -Uvh /home/apps/slurm/munge/munge-libs-0.5.18-1.el10.x86_64.rpm /home/apps/slurm/munge/munge-0.5.18-1.el10.x86_64.rpm munged --version systemctl restart munge

Just a small note on Munge [1] for those of you with RPM-based systems:
Build Munge 0.5.18 RPM packages by:
wget https://github.com/dun/munge/releases/download/munge-0.5.18/munge-0.5.18.tar .xz
rpmbuild -ta munge-0.5.18.tar.xz
and install the packages from the directory ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ (or whatever your architecture is).
Best regards, Ole
