Is Slurm's NodeName case sensitivity a bug or a feature?

Preventing people from using UPPERCASE hostnames, usernames, group names etc. is IMNSHO a feature. :D

Agreed :-) Just an added note on this question:

In the slurm.conf manual page is stated:

The contents of the file are case insensitive except for the names of nodes and partitions.

and under ClusterName:

Because of limitations in some databases, any upper case letters in the name will be silently mapped to lower case. In order to avoid confusion, it is recommended that the name be lower case.
