SlurmUser setting not respected

[Karin Lagesen]

Hi!

I am new as a slurm admin, so pardon if my questions are a FAQ somewhere.

I am trying to install slurm on my local computer in anticipation of
installing it on a server. In both cases we thus have one single
machine, both acting as controller and compute node.

I am having problems getting the slurmd daemon to start. This is my
error message:

My SlurmUser is actually set to karinlag (my user), and I can read/write
the config file, which is why this is so confusing.

Thankyou for any help in advance,

Thanks for this - my bad! Will try to read the next error message a bit
more thoroughly.
