There is a permission problem somewhere, but I don’t know where.

If I run as root, it works:

admin@slurmfrontend:~$ srun hostname
srun: error: task 0 launch failed: Slurmd could not execve job
slurmstepd: error: task_g_set_affinity: Operation not permitted
slurmstepd: error: _exec_wait_child_wait_for_parent: failed: No error

admin@slurmfrontend:~$ sudo srun hostname
slurmnode1

admin@slurmfrontend:~$ sudo srun -N 3 hostname
slurmnode1
slurmnode3
slurmnode2
admin@slurmfrontend:~$
