[slurm-users] Strange problem with Slurm 17.11.0: "batch job complete failure"

We've just installed 17.11.0 on our 100+ node x86_64 cluster running 
CentOS 7.4 this afternoon, and periodically see a single node (perhaps 
the first node in an allocation?) get drained with the message "batch 
job complete failure".

On one node in question, slurmd.log reports

    pam_unix(slurm:session): open_session - error recovering username
    pam_loginuid(slurm:session): unexpected response from failed
    conversation function 

On another node drained for the same reason,

    error: pam_open_session: Cannot make/remove an entry for the
    specified session
    error: error in pam_setup
    error: job_manager exiting abnormally, rc = 4020
    sending REQUEST_COMPLETE_BATCH_SCRIPT, error:4020 status 0

slurmctld has logged

    error: slurmd error running JobId=33 on node(s)=node048: Slurmd
    could not execve job

    drain_nodes: node Summer0c048 state set to DRAIN

If anyone can shine some light on where I should start looking, I shall 
be most obliged!

Andy
