[Condor-users] authentication error with condor_rm

["David A. Kotz" <dkotz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Running Condor 6.7.18 on Ubuntu Breezy, I'm getting the following 
problem with some jobs:


$ condor_rm -name [MACHINE] [USERNAME]
AUTHENTICATE:1003:Failed to authenticate with any method
AUTHENTICATE:1004:Failed to authenticate using GSI
GSI:5003:Failed to authenticate.  Globus is reporting error (851968:45). 
 There is probably a problem with your credentials. (Did you run 
grid-proxy-init?)
AUTHENTICATE:1004:Failed to authenticate using KERBEROS
AUTHENTICATE:1004:Failed to authenticate using FS
Couldn't find/remove all of user [USERNAME]'s job(s).


The user reported having this problem, but she is not authorized to log 
in to those machines directly, so I tried it from my account, which is a 
queue superuser account.  I thought it might be related to her user 
privs on the submit node.  (She has jobs submitted from nodes she can't 
log in to because for reasons unknown she submits Condor jobs to submit 
other Condor jobs.)  We're not doing Globus here, just basic Condor.

From my account I was unable to remotely kill the jobs, but I was able 
to remove them from the queues by logging in to each machine 
individually and killing them with a

  condor_rm [USERNAME]
