[condor-users] Condor Configuration Issues

[Raymond Page <pagerc@xxxxxxx>]

I've two machines that I'm testing Condor with.  If anyone is interested or 
cares, they are Gentoo Linux running the 2.6.3 kernel.  The setup I have 
is "fidget" as a central manager and "rah" as a processing node in the 
cluster.

My configuration problem is that rah is being listed by condor_status as 
having State "owner".  This is a flag checked for by the startd and 
therefore while rah is in the "owner" state, no jobs may be run.  I was 
wondering how the machine gets into the "owner" state and if there are any 
configuration options that will force rah not to enter the "owner" state.

To bypass the issue, I had to alter the the UCWS_START to TESTINGMODE_START 
so that jobs would run on rah.  Since jobs are being processed now, I was 
hoping to convert the configuration back to UCWS_START.  Which is why I 
was also curious why the default UWCS_START has State != "owner" built in 
as a requirement.  Is that for security reasons, or is it assumed that a 
dedicated non-job processing machine will be the central manager?

Appreciate any comments on the "owner" state issue.  If it's in the manual 
and I'm just missing it, please let me know.
