[Condor-users] Problems with condor_configure!!

["Vij R" <vijr2006@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

A newbie to Condor, I want to install and run condor on 2 machines. One is the central manager(with manager,execute,submit)-->node0 and the other as submit,execute -->node2.

I have created "condor" user on both node0 and node2 and want to run condor daemons as root on both.  I created an nfs share "/usr/local/release" mounted on node0 and node2 for containing the condor binaries (bin,sbin etc.). The condor home directories are local to each node (not shared)

on node0, I ran the following:
./condor_configure --install=/home/condor/condor-6.8.3/release.tar --install-dir=/usr/local/release/ --local-dir=/home/condor/ --type=manager,submit,execute. 

it installs fine. On trying to run condor_master as root, its throws the error "ERROR: SECMAN:2003:TCP connection to <
192.168.36.1:9618> failed". SO i edited the "/home/condor/condor_config.local" file and changed domain_uids=0.0. Then all daemons are up as root user. condor_status shows node0 in the pool.

To join node2 to the pool, I ran as root, the following:
./condor_configure --install-dir=/usr/local/release/ --local-dir=/home/condor/ --type=submit,execute --verbose --central-manager=
192.168.36.1

It throws the error as below:
Condor will be run as user: condor
ERROR: Can't read config source /home/condor/condor_config.local
Unable to find local directory!

1.Why is condor_configure searching for condor_config.local on node2 when it is being configured for the first time? 
2.What is "local directory" refer to when there is a user "condor" on node2 with /home/condor being present?
3. why is the message saying "condor will be run as user condor" when I want to run condor as root?
4. Is there something I am missing while configuring the worker node (node2) to join the pool while using condor_configure?

Could someone please let me know this. I have been battling this for quite some time.

Thanks,
Vijender
