[slurm-users] srun: error: Unable to allocate resources: Invalid partition name specified

Hi all,

I dont´t understand why its occurs!

user: john
group: courseit
partition: course

[john at master ~]$ sinfo
PARTITION AVAIL  TIMELIMIT  NODES  STATE NODELIST
course        up   infinite      8   idle node[02-04,06,09-12]

/etc/group
courseit:x:1002:john

/etc/passwd
john:x:1001:1002::/home/john:/bin/bash

/etc/slurm/slurm.conf
PartitionName=course Nodes=node[02-04,06,09-12] AllowGroups=courseit  
Default=YES MaxTime=INFINITE State=UP


[john at master ~]$ srun -N3 -l /bin/hostname
srun: error: Unable to allocate resources: User's group not permitted  
to use this partition

And if I put -p course, it´s ok

[john at master ~]$ srun -p course -N3 -l /bin/hostname
2: node04
1: node03
0: node02

Can someone has an idea?

Thanks in advance!
Valeriana
