[slurm-users] Munge decode failing on new node

[Riebs, Andy]

A couple of quick checks to see if the problem is munge:

1.       On the problem node, try
$ echo foo | munge | unmunge

2.       If (1) works, try this from the node running slurmctld to the problem node
slurm-node$ echo foo | ssh node munge | unmunge

There is no ntp service running on any of my nodes, and all but this one is working.  I haven't heard that ntp is a requirement for slurm, just that the time be synchronized across the cluster.  And it is.

I’d check ntp as your encoding time seems odd to me

I've installed two new nodes onto my slurm cluster.  One node works, but the other one complains about an invalid credential for munge.  I've verified that the munge.key is the same as on all other nodes with

sudo cksum /etc/munge/munge.key

I recopied a munge.key from a node that works.  I've verified that munge uid and gid are the same on the nodes.  The time is in sync on all nodes.

Here is what is in the slurmd.log:

 error: Unable to register: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure)
 error: Munge decode failed: Invalid credential
 ENCODED: Wed Dec 31 17:00:00 1969
 DECODED: Wed Dec 31 17:00:00 1969
 error: authentication: Invalid authentication credential
 error: slurm_receive_msg_and_forward: Protocol authentication error
 error: service_connection: slurm_receive_msg: Protocol authentication error
 error: Unable to register: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure)

I've checked in the munged.log and all it says is

Invalid credential

Thanks for your help
