[slurm-users] Secondary Unix group id of users not being issued in interactive srun command

[Timo Rothenpieler]

Are you using LDAP for your users?
This sounds exactly like what I was seeing on our cluster when 
nsswitch.conf was not properly set up.

In my case, I was missing a line like

 > initgroups: files [SUCCESS=continue] ldap

Just adding ldap to group: was not enough, and only got the primary 
group to work, exactly like in your case.
