[slurm-users] Random "sbatch" failure: "Socket timed out on send/recv operation"

[John Hearns]

I have had experience with sssd and can help a bit.
Also if you are seeing long waits could you have nested groups?
sssd is notorious for not handling these well, and there are settings in
the configuration file which you can experiment with.
