When I said that the directory had permissions of 0644 I actually
meant 0755. Apologies if I mislead anyone, but the point stands. The
jobs don't run until that spool directory is set to 1777.

OK, I can get it to work as expected under v7.4.3 if I change the
permissions on Condor's spool directory on the submit host from 0644
to 1777. However, under v7.2 it worked fine with perms of just 0644,
so why do we now need these less secure settings?

Hi,
Our users have come across a problem for MPI jobs running under the
parallel universe when upgrading from 7.2.5 to 7.4.3, and though we
have found a workaround (mentioned below), it would be great if we
can identify a proper fix.
The issue is that jobs using the "usual" MPI wrapper script (e.g.
mp1script) for such jobs now fail with the following:
In stdout:
error 0 chirp putting identity keys back
In stderr:
Can't chirp_client_open
/home/condor/spool/cluster55247.proc0.subproc0/0.key:-1
Looking in the ShadowLog, it seems that a new permissions problem
rears its head:
09/13 10:48:29 (55247.0) (30445): Request to run
on slot1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:slot1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <172.24.89.94:9696>
was ACCEPTED
09/13 10:48:29 (55247.0) (30445): FileTransfer::Init():
mkdir(/home/condor/spool/cluster55247.proc0.subproc0) failed,
Permission denied (errno: 13)
We have found that we can get around the issue by spooling the data
on submission, i.e. via "condor_submit -spool" and then retrieving
the data on completion via condor_transfer_data, before finally
removing the job from the queue manually with condor_rm. This new
behaviour is perplexing, as there have been no new configuration
changes made to the hosts on upgrade.
Have we missed something necessary in the upgrade? From the release
notes I can't discern any such new requirement, and having to
remember to manually retrieve output and remove completed jobs from
the queue is a pain in the unmentionables.
Best regards,
Mark
