[Condor-users] Problem running Grid jobs using Condor.

[Balamurali Ananthan <bala@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am trying to run a job in the condor system submitted through the 
Globus Gatekeeper.

But the jobs are being held for this reason:

HoldReason = "Error from starter on slot1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Failed to 
open 
'/home/research/bala/.globus/job/vulcan.txcorp.com/9128.1239817731/stdout' 
as standard output: No such file or directory (errno 2)"

Here is what I already did:
1. Started the execute machine's master daemon as root.

2. Set the UID_DOMAIN in the condor_config on the execute machine to 
txcorp.com

3. Set the TRUST_UID_DOMAIN = TRUE on the execute machine

4. The account with which the job is supposed to be run on the execute 
machine is not in the /etc/passwd file. So the SOFT_UID_DOMAIN = TRUE is 
set in the execute machine.

However, the execute machine (10.0.0.2) cannot do a dns lookup. So there 
is no way the execute machine can DNS resolve 10.0.0.105 to 
vulcan.txcorp.com which is the submit machine, although /etc/hosts can 
be used to resolve 10.0.0.105 to vulcan.txcorp.com

Questions:
1. Does the execute machine depends only on dns to resolve the ip 
address to its name? And if it fails does it run the job as nobody?

2. How do I see with what account the job is tried to run as? I'm 
guessing that the job is run as nobody while it is supposed to be 
running as bala. How do I check it?

Thanks much!
