[Condor-users] condor_config_val -set problem

[Armen Babikyan <armenb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting condor_config_val to set variables.  First, I 
set HOSTALLOW_CONFIG equal to my hostname in etc/condor_config, 
restarted condor, then typed in the command:

 condor_config_val -set "MY_RESOURCE_1 = FALSE"

And received this error message:

 Attempt to set configuration "MY_RESOURCE_1 = FALSE" on master 
foobar.static.net <192.168.66.80:39988> failed.

foobar.static.net's MasterLog had this to say:

5/15 16:59:52 DaemonCore: Command received via TCP from host 
<192.168.66.80:40012>
5/15 16:59:52 DaemonCore: received command 60002 (DC_CONFIG_PERSIST), 
calling handler (handle_config())
5/15 16:59:52 WARNING: Someone at 192.168.66.80 is trying to modify 
"MY_RESOURCE_1"
5/15 16:59:52 WARNING: Potential security problem, request refused

I've replaced the value of HOSTALLOW_CONFIG with anything I could think 
of...hostname.domainname, just the hostname, ip addresses 
("192.168.66.80", "127.0.0.1"), "localhost"...even "*".  The variable 
I'm trying to change is initialized in my host's local configuration 
file, and I'm not explicitly overriding HOSTALLOW_CONFIG in my host's 
local configuration file.  I am using Condor 6.7.19.  Any ideas? 

Thanks,

 - Armen
