Hello,

On my login nodes I run a ulimit of -t 600 to keep users from running jobs
on the login nodes.  Previously with Torque/Moab, upon executing the job
the shell session would spawn and read from my /etc/profiles where I had a
script to read the hostname and set ulimits based on hostname.

Slurm uses a totally different process to execute the jobs, which is
fine... except the jobs inherit the ulimits from my login nodes.  I
have found that this can be circumvented by using --propagate=NONE while
submitting the sbatch command, although I haven't found a way to force
this upon all submitted jobs.  I've tried using /etc/sysconfig/slurm and
it appears this file is ignored.  I would even be happy if this is
something that I could set in the job_submit.lua plugin, but I have not
seen a variable for something like this.

Any ideas?
