Hi,

I am sorry for the bounced emails. I didn't know @qq.com would cause such trouble and I've changed the email address.

I first met that problem in version 8.6.9. But when changed to 8.4.9 the problem disappears. I build my image based onÂagaveapi/htcondor.

Thanks for following up with the list. We see what is going on, and will have a fix in a future version of condor. The problem stems from the fact that condor is started as the root user id under docker, but, by default, is missing several of the rootly privileges that root usually has. This is confusing condor. You can work around this problem either by setting

USE_PROCD=false

or by starting docker with the --privileged flag, if you feel comfortable doing that in your environment.

Thanks again for helping us to improve HTCondor.
