Ok, looks like Iâm at the simple security setup stage.  Appreciate all the suggestions!

 

    Hi Nathan,
    
    Glad to hear you have your network host name issues sorted!
    
    Especially since you are doing a fresh install, I strongly suggest
    you just use the "get_hcondor" tool to get a secure and configured
    working setup in a few minutes with just a couple commands.  This is
    a lot easier (in my opinion) than installing binaries on your own
    and then configuring a secure setup.  In one command, get_htcondor
    will install all the native packages (via apt-get) and also create a
    secure pool configuration.
    
    To use get_htcondor, see the Admin Quick Start Guide page at
https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-htcondor/admin-quick-start.html
    All the options for get_htcondor are here:
    https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man-pages/get_htcondor.html
    
    But the steps I recommend are as follows:
    
    1. All you need installed on your Ubuntu22 servers is "curl" and
    "bash".  If you don't already have the curl command, install it (as
    root) like so:
       root# apt-get update && apt-get
      install -y curl
    
    2. Pick a secure password; this password will be required to join
    your pool.  For the examples below, lets say your password is:
    some_secret_password (don't really use this!)
    
    3. Install your central manager.  On physlin2.physics.winona.edu  as
    root enter:
       root# curl -fsSL https://get.htcondor.org
      | GET_HTCONDOR_PASSWORD="some_secret_password" /bin/bash -s --
      --no-dry-run --central-manager physlin2.physics.winona.edu
    
    4. Install your access point (submit host).  On physlin6 as root
    enter:
      root# curl -fsSL https://get.htcondor.org
      | GET_HTCONDOR_PASSWORD="some_secret_password" /bin/bash -s --
      --no-dry-run --submit physlin2.physics.winona.edu
    
    5. Install your execution points.  On each execution point
    (physlin20-26), as root enter:
      root# curl -fsSL https://get.htcondor.org
      | GET_HTCONDOR_PASSWORD="some_secret_password" /bin/bash -s --
      --no-dry-run --execute physlin2.physics.winona.edu
    
    6. Test some commands and running a job!  Login as a normal user
    (i.e. not root) to your access point (physlin6), and try out some
    commands:
      nmoore$ condor_q
        nmoore$ condor_status
        nmoore$ condor_submit
        executable="/bin/echo" arguments="Hello, world!" log=hello.log
        output=hello.out -queue 1
          nmoore$ condor_wait hello.log
          nmoore$ more hello.out
          nmoore$ more hello.log
