It may be useful to experiment with different \fBslurmd\fR specific 
configuration parameters using a distinct configuration file. However, 
this special configuration file will not be recognized by \fBslurmctld\fR 
or the Slurm programs. If you desire changing communication ports, 
the location of the temporary file system, or other parameters used 
by other Slurm components, change the common configuration file.
