Re: [Condor-users] condor_config_val -set problem

[Preston Smith <psmith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you running >= 6.7.18? The default security setting for  
condor_config_val
changed in 6.7.18..

Release notes say:
"The security of the ``condor_ config_val -set'' feature was found to be
insufficient, so this feature is now disabled by default."

Turn it back on with
ENABLE_RUNTIME_CONFIG = TRUE
