Re: [Condor-users] error on submitting a job

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

No, submission under root is not allowed.

 

For pools with shared filestore and/or a common UID domain, running a job as, for instance,

"jk" will mean the jobs runs as "jk" on those remote machines.

 

If on such a system, root was allowed to run jobs, then a compromise on one of the many

nodes in the pool, could mean that you could wreak havok all over the pool running jobs which

run as root.
