munge (net/munge) Add to my watchlist
Creating and validating credentials in HPC clusters.MUNGE (MUNGE Uid 'N' Gid Emporium) is an authentication service for creating and validating credentials. It is designed to be highly scalable for use in an HPC cluster environment. It allows a process to authenticate the UID and GID of another local or remote process within a group of hosts having common users and groups. These hosts form a security realm that is defined by a shared cryptographic key. Clients within this security realm can create and validate credentials without the use of root privileges, reserved ports, or platform-specific methods.

Port notes
Once munge is activated, a random key will be generated and placed at ${prefix}/etc/munge/munge.key. If you put in your own key, make sure only root can access it, and remember to restart munged! A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting munge with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:
sudo port load munge
