[Condor-users] Question regarding my approach in -->Re: Master won't start

[sirish <sirish4ever@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi..
 
 I tried to work around the same problem by copying condor_configure file to condor user home directory. 
 
 I am afraid i cannot continue with this approach for long time as, if i change any environment variables values of condor_configure in future, then there might be inconsistency between condor_configure file <release dir>/etc/ and the condor_configure file from home/condor/ dir.
 
 Any suggestions to me please? i appreciate your time and effort to help me.
 
 Thanks,
 Sirish
