Re: [HTCondor-users] Running Condor without root privileges

Yes, the basic functions of the STARTD will work, but most of the process-isolation mechanisms will be disabled.  In particular

 

• All jobs (and the daemons) will run as the user that started the HTCondor master process
• HTCondor will not be able to use cgroups to limit job memory, etc

Hi,

 

Is it possible to run a Condor execute node (DAEMON_LIST = MASTER, STARTD) without root privileges?

 

Cheers,

Lukas
