Hello everyone,
I have a problem with gridengine 6.1u3 that has started when our organization moved from NIS to LDAP. On some local workstations
we have two root users defined in /etc/passwd. The traditional root:x:0:0:[...] but also a second account secondroot:x:0:0:[...].
With NIS we never had any problem, the root credentials were correctly used by qmaster. But with ldap sometimes qmaster
correctly uses root as the admin user, but sometimes it attempts to use secondroot. Then it fails to connect and the logs have
messages like:
[...] denied: request for user "secondroot" does not match credentials for connection
<[hostname]>
I tried to have a look at the source code to see how the admin account is determined but so far I have wasted a lot of time with
little result. The idea is that if I know exactly how the admin user is determined, I can then modify my setup so that it is
always "root" that is discovered as admin. Hopefully without having to lose my "secondroot" account.
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction in the source or suggest a way to fix my problem? That would be
immensely appreciated! :)
Thank you
Laurent
