[Condor-users] Home directory for user "condor"

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

[root@fngp-osg root]#  condor_config_val CONDOR_IDS
4716.3302


My cluster is currently configured so that user condor (4716.3302) as
seen above, has got an nfs-mounted shared home directory /home/condor.
There is not anything actually in this directory at all.  Nevertheless
I'm tracking nfs activity and seeing that this directory is accessed
every time a daemon is started up, in particular every time
a condor_starter is launched on any compute node.

My question.. does this directory really need to be shared, particularly
if it is not used for a condor_config of any sort?  Could
I just set it to be the same directory as my LOCAL_DIR on each node,
which is not shared at all?
