[Condor-users] startd/schedd not running as root

[David Crim <David.Crim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have configured a small group of desktop Linux boxes to test out
Condor 6.6.6. I have eleven systems running RedHat 7.3 configured. All
eleven are communicating with the master and reporting status. So far,
so good.

When I submit a job to Condor, I get error messages like:

007 (060.000.000) 08/24 10:11:40 Shadow exception!
        Error from starter on xxxx.xxxx.xxx.com: Failed to open standard
output file '/home/xxxxx/condor/uname/uname.out': Permission denied
(errno 13)
        0  -  Run Bytes Sent By Job
        0  -  Run Bytes Received By Job


I have to make the working directory world writable and either remove or
chmod the files uname.out and uname.error. If I remove them, they are
recreated as uid nobody. I realize that this is because my startd/schedd
daemons are running as condor instead of root. I can not figure out why
this is. I start condor_master as root, but the daemons all switch to
uid condor.

How do I get these daemons to run as root so that jobs submitted to
Condor will run under the uid of the submitter?

Thanks,

Dave
