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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: The libraries are now in a seperate -libs package -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #530128 - munge-libs missing from munge epel packaging https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530128 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs.
