The UsePAM = 1 in slurm.conf may be deprecated, see Tim Wickberg's 
comments on pam_slurm_adopt in 
https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4098.  Or perhaps UsePAM may

Obviously, UsePAM and the /etc/pam.d/slurm rules ought to be documented 
clearly somewhere, but I'm not aware of any good description.
