Platform LSF Reference Version 6.2

Parameters
Platform LSF Reference
614
Description
UNIX only.
Specifies the user account under which to run the external authentication executable
eauth.
Default
Undefined. eauth is run as the primary LSF administrator.
LSF_EEXEC_USER
Syntax
LSF_EEXEC_USER
=user_name
Description
UNIX only.
Defines the user name to run the external execution command
eexec.
Default
Undefined. eexec is run as the user who submitted the job.
LSF_LOAD_PLUGINS
Syntax
LSF_LOAD_PLUGINS=y
| Y
Description
If defined, LSF loads plugins from LSB_LSBDIR. Used for Kerberos authentication in
Sun HPC environments, and to enable the LSF cpuset plugin for IRIX 6.5.8.
Default
Undefined (no plugins).
LSF_STARTUP_USERS
Syntax
LSF_STARTUP_USERS
=all_admins | "user_name..."
Description
UNIX only. Equivalent to the local LSF administrators group (Local Admins) in
Windows.
Must be defined in conjunction with LSF_STARTUP_PATH for this feature to work.
By default, only root can start the LSF daemons.
lsadmin and badmin must be
installed as
setuid root programs.
This parameter specifies other users who can start daemons as root using the LSF
administration commands
lsadmin and badmin.
◆ all_admins
Allows all LSF administrators configured in lsf.cluster.cluster_name to start
LSF daemons as root by running
lsadmin and badmin commands.
Defining LSF_STARTUP_USERS as
all_admins incurs some security risk
because administrators can be configured by a primary LSF administrator who is
not root. You should explicitly list the login names of all authorized administrators
here so that you have full control of who can start daemons as root.
◆ "user_name..."
Allows specified users to start LSF daemons as root by running lsadmin and
badmin commands. If only one user is specified, quotation marks are not required.
Default
Undefined. Only root can start daemons as root.
