All good ideas Mick – - I've restarted slurmd on all nodes – no effect - Ran this on all nodes: #!/bin/bash uname -n id slurm id 59999 scontrol show config | grep SlurmUser All show slurm being that 59999 user. - The firewalld already has the internal network interface being used set to the trusted zone I get a bit more info out of setting the slurmctld to debug level, but I'm not sure what to make of it TBH. I'm not sure what "_handle_mult_rc_ret: PERSIST_RC is 2002 from DBD_SEND_MULT_MSG(1474)" is trying to tell me.

While "sacctmgr list Account" or "sacctmgr list user" shows expected account groups and users, "sreport user top start=12/1/23" and "sreport cluster utilization start=12/1/23" both report empty tables.
