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.

operations.
