   It's an issue with munge 0.5.13. It's been reported here:
   dun/munge#140

   The limit of characters for hostname is 64 because of a fixed size buffer. Upgrading to 0.5.14 would fix it. However, we currently fetch munge from EPEL so we do not have the freedom of upgrading. I'll look at the options.

   Since RHEL 8, munge is in appstream repo instead of being provided by EPEL, but they are still at 0.5.13.

   We intend to stop using munge for authentication and instead use Slurm auth plugin using jwt in Magic Castle 16.
