[slurm-users] mariadb refusing access

In the logs I am seeing,

root@vuwunicoslurmd3 mariadb]# tail -f mariadb.log 2025-03-04 19:01:32 12565 [Warning] Access denied for user 'slurm'@'localhost' (using password: YES) 2025-03-04 19:06:19 12566 [Warning] Access denied for user 'slurm'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

However mysql -u slurm -p works just fine so it seems to be a config error for slurmdbd

Any ideas please?

regards

Steven
