Re: [HTCondor-users] startd doesn't start

[Alessandra Forti <Alessandra.Forti@xxxxxxx>]

I tried to install a 8.6.1 node on the testbed that works and Startd doesn't start, if I downgrade to 8.4.11 it does. So it seems something peculiar to 8.6.1.

Is anyone on this list using 8.6.1? I guess for now I'm going to stick to 8.4.11 but if there is an answer to solve this please let me know.

cheers

I've attached the diff of the output of the condor_config_val -dump in case it can help.

Hi,

I'm in a bit of a pickle and can't understand what I'm doing wrong. I have two small testbeds which I should have the same configuration and one works and the other doesn't. They both are configured with puppet.

The one that doesn't work is condor-8.6.1 the one that works is condor-8.4.11.

They are both started by root, on both the UID domain is set to the same value both on the head node and the pool node (as a matter of fact startd doesn't start on the head node either), the both have the same pool_password, but there are some differences. For example the 8.6.1 condor_shared_p starts automatically while in 8.4.11 it doesn't. We don't The pool_password are created differently that's why I stuck with the one that worked on at least one testbed. I can see startd starting for few seconds and then dying or, according to the logs, getting killed

In the StartLog files I have this error

03/17/17 08:20:35 ERROR: Attempt to initialize user_priv with root privileges rejected
03/17/17 08:20:35 ERROR "Programmer Error: attempted switch to user privilege, but user ids are not initialized" at line 1500 in file

While the MasterLog I have an endless series of these messages

I can only find references to these errors that are pretty old or not applicable.

thanks for any help
