LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Default

LSF_ROOT_REX

Syntax

LSF_ROOT_REX=local

Description

UNIX only.

Allows root remote execution privileges (subject to identification checking) on remote hosts,

for both interactive and batch jobs. Causes RES to accept requests from the superuser (root)

on remote hosts, subject to identification checking.

If LSF_ROOT_REX is not defined, remote execution requests from user root are refused.

Theory

Sites that have separate root accounts on different hosts within the cluster should not define

LSF_ROOT_REX. Otherwise, this setting should be based on local security policies.

The lsf.conf file is host-type specific and not shared across different platforms. You must

make sure that lsf.conf for all your host types are changed consistently.

Default

Not defined. Root execution is not allowed.
