About lsf.sudoers
The lsf.sudoers file is an optional file to configure security mechanisms. It is not
installed by default.
You use
lsf.sudoers to set the parameter LSF_EAUTH_KEY to configure a key for
eauth to encrypt and decrypt user authentication data.
On UNIX, you also use
lsf.sudoers to grant permission to users other than root to
perform certain operations as root in LSF, or as a specified user.
These operations include:
◆ LSF daemon startup/shutdown
◆ User ID for LSF authentication
◆ User ID for LSF pre- and post-execution commands.
◆ User ID for external LSF executables
If
lsf.sudoers does not exist, only root can perform these operations in LSF on
UNIX.
On UNIX, this file is located in
/etc.
There is one
lsf.sudoers file per host.
On Windows, this file is located in the directory specified by the parameter
LSF_SECUREDIR in
lsf.conf.
Changing lsf.sudoers configuration
After making any changes to lsf.sudoers, run badmin reconfig to reload the
configuration files.
