[Condor-users] condor_master error

[Cathy Pfister <cathyjp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I recently tried to move the location of LOCAL_DIR from an nfs drive to 
a directory on a local disk (but not the root disk).  I am able to run 
condor_configure to move the log, execute, and spool directories to the 
new location (although I am curious as to why these directories are 
created with owner condor and group root?), but when I then try to run 
condor_master, which I start up as root, I get the following error:

Can't open "/viewstore/condor/log/MasterLog"
6/7 13:42:08 dprintf() had a fatal error in pid 31177
Can't open "/viewstore/condor/log/MasterLog"
errno: 13 (Permission denied)
euid: 50025, ruid: 0

50025 is the uid of condor (CONDOR_IDS is set to the condor uid.gid).  I 
get the same error if I change the group of the LOCAL_DIR directories to 
condor.  However, I can su condor and explicitly create 
/viewstore/condor/log/MasterLog.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks,

Cathy
