Or, even better, stop using LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE -

http://spinningmatt.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/customizing-condor-configuration-local_config_fil-vs-local_config_dir/

The Fedora and RHEL packages (I think the UW RHEL package too) use 
LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR. Other sources (UW tarball, Ubuntu, ?Debian?) may still 
be using LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE.
