[slurm-users] SLURM on Ubuntu 16.04

[Patrick Goetz]

Hi Eric -

Did you follow my suggestion of -- on 18.04, mind you; the packages on 
16.04 are too old --

   - Install the slurmctld package on the SMS (the master)
   - Install the slurmd package on the nodes?

You'll still need to do some configuration, but my guess is this will 
pull in the necessary dependencies and set everything up for you.
