Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.13
Hello,
I'm the maintainer of the package slurm-llnl. This package provides SLURM
which is a batch queuing system for clusters. In a cluster environment
the package needs to be installed on all the nodes of the cluster.
It usually works with one "central manager" which assigns jobs to all
the execution hosts.
The SLURM "central manager" daemon doesn't need root privileges and
therefore I create a "slurm" user which is the owner of the process
and of some directories.
The problem is that using a non privileged user only works if the user
has the same uid on all the node of the cluster, even if they are only
execution hosts.
To ensure this I need that the SLURM user created on package
installation has the same uid on any system.
I have read the 9.2.2 section of the policy and I think I need
a uid in the range 60000-64999 since it should be:
"Globally allocated by the Debian project, but only created on
demand. The ids are allocated centrally and statically, but the
actual accounts are only created on users' systems on demand."
Can you please assign a fixed uid and gid for the "slurm" user
and group in the 60000-64999 range?
Thanks for your attention
