Pushing the slurm.conf (and other config files) to all cluster nodes may 
be done in several other ways:

1. Configless Slurm is ideal and simple to use, see
    https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_configuration#configless-slurm
    https://slurm.schedmd.com/configless_slurm.html

2. You can push the /etc/slurm directory with ClusterShell (clush --copy), see
