What you put in condor_config.local overrides what's in condor_config. So
you can leave condor_config at defaults, and put any non-default settings in
condor_config.local.

In my case I installed onto Ubuntu using the Debian Squeeze packages, and
set /etc/condor/condor_config.local to the content I showed.  I did not
touch /etc/condor/condor_config.

The blog entry was suggesting a third way of configuration: create
additional config files in /etc/condor/config.d/ directory.  That will work
too.

However according to this comment:

you need to beware that anything left in condor_config.local will override
your settings from the config.d/ files.
