Say what you will about #AI, but in my humble opinion the AGENTS.md file is what CONTRIBUTING.md file should have been all along.
It amazes me how often the CONTRIBUTING.md file is overlooked for onboarding flesh and bone contributors, but people will write the most intricate AGENTS.md files that will explain every detail of their project down to the expected commit structure.
PSA for my #HPC cluster operators out there. A new CVE was announced for #MUNGE, a popular authentication mechanism used in #Slurm

Does anyone here use the #Slurm `nss_slurm` extension?
I see in Slurm's documentation an example of how to enable the extension, but I can't find any examples of the referenced /etc/nss_slurm.conf file anywhere...
The source code of the extension seems to indicate that it is very simple file - e.g.
```
NodeName=<nodename>
SlurmdSpoolDir=<dir>
```
but I just want an example to ensure that my assumptions are correct 😅
@glennklockwood my first request would be to change the configuration format to either TOML or YAML, and have stricter validation 😅
My team and I were playing with how crazy we could get the AutoDetect option in the gres.conf file since Slurm lets you pass whatever you want as long as it matches one of the available plugins.
@quinn they do other stuff like Run:AI (Kubernetes scheduler), but their gravy is GPUs.
I imagine this acquisition is to cut out overhead for new and existing cluster deployments. Almost anyone buying GPUs for HPC/AI clusters is going to want some level of Slurm consulting.
