	To be clear, this is reading ads _about_ the local host, not 
_from_ the local host -- condor_status will talk to the collector unless 
you specifically instruct it otherwise.  You can use the -direct option
to specify a daemon to talk to without going through the collector to find 
it.  On many EPs, there will be a .startd_address file in HTCondor's LOG
directory whose first line can be passed to -direct (if the hostname 
doesn't work).
