[HTCondor-users] Workaround to use LDAP condor account

[Gerard Weatherby <gerardw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had a problem with the condor service not starting on an Ubuntu 18 (debian) system because the /var/run/condor didn't exist. /var/run/condor didn't exist because theÂsystemd-tmpfiles-setupÂservice runs before theÂsssdÂservice, so the creation command in theÂ/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/condor-tmpfiles.confÂfile installed by htcondor failed because "condor" wasn't recognized as an account name.

We ending up creating another debian package to resolve this; the source is available https://github.com/NMRbox/nmrbox-configuration-htcondor, in case this is of use to anyone else.
