Re: [HTCondor-users] Capital Letters in DNS names

[Todd L Miller <tlmiller@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

	The schedd's name is set by SCHEDD_NAME.  If that's not set, we 
use NETWORK_HOSTNAME.  If that's not set, we try to figure out the local 
hostname.  If that doesn't result in a FQDN, and DEFAULT_DOMAIN_NAME is 
set, we use DEFAULT_DOMAIN_NAME to create an FQDN.  So check those three 
values in the condor configuration (and consider restarting the schedd to 
make sure it's using the on-disk configuration).

	I assume you don't have NO_DNS set in the HTCondor configuration. 
In that case, when HTCondor tries to figure out the local hostname, it 
calls gethostname().  Use the `hostname` tool to determine what 
gethostname() returns.  HTCondor will then try to obtain the canonical 
name by passing the return to getaddrinfo().  If that succeeds, the 
canonical name from the first result is used.  The `host` tool may call 
getaddrinfo(); I'm not actually sure.  You may need to pass the `-a` 
option or call `host` multiple times, since you said "frequently" 
(implying "not always"), which may mean that different DNS servers 
disagree on the capitalization.

	In short: as far as I know, HTCondor doesn't mangle any of the 
results it gets from any of these look-ups.  It's probably a good idea to 
track down where the occasional all-caps ORG is coming from -- it may be a 
sign of other problems -- but you should just be able to set SCHEDD_NAME 
to whatever the schedd name to work around it.
