Re: [HTCondor-users] Unattended install of HTCondor 8.0.5 on Windows: end-of-line issues in condor_config...

["John (TJ) Knoeller" <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok. Ignore my last post,  I see what you are saying now.  If you open condor_config in notepad,
it shows DOS style line endings on the ALLOW_READ and ALLOW_WRITE lines.

We should probably fix this, but It doesn't matter to HTCondor.  It will read the config files
just fine if you use DOS or UNIX or some mixture of line endings.

There is some harm here, but maybe not that serious.  HTCondor config files don't recognize #
as a comment in the middle of the line. you end up with an ALLOW_READ list containing

215.145.0.0/16#ALLOW_READ
=
*.your.domain
*.cs.wisc.edu

I'm pretty sure that 215.145.0.0/16#ALLOW_READ behaves the same as 215.145.0.0/16, so this
bug is going to add bogus things to your allow list, but it won't prevent HTCondor from running.

This is definitely a bug in the MSI installer.  I have added a ticket to a bug tracking system for this

Hi,

I do the unattended install, according to the HTCondor manual; something like this:

set MSI="condor-8.0.5-212140-Windows-x86.msi"

set ARGS=

set ARGS=NEWPOOL="N"

set ARGS=%ARGS% POOLNAME="Library"

set ARGS=%ARGS% RUNJOBS="C"

set ARGS=%ARGS% VACATEJOBS="Y"

set ARGS=%ARGS% SUBMITJOBS="N"

set ARGS=%ARGS% CONDOREMAIL=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% SMTPSERVER=""

set ARGS=%ARGS% HOSTALLOWREAD="215.145.0.0/16"

set ARGS=%ARGS% HOSTALLOWWRITE="215.145.0.0/16"

.....[etc. etc.]

msiexec /qn /norestart /l*v condor-install-log.txt /i %MSI% %ARGS%

Then I see in the file C:\condor\condor_config  things like this:

ALLOW_READ=215.145.0.0/16#ALLOW_READ = *.your.domain, *.cs.wisc.edu

and

ALLOW_WRITE=215.145.0.0/16#ALLOW_WRITE = *.your.domain, your-friend's-machine.other.domain

I guess there is a wrong conversion between DOS and Unix line termination.

Can this have any nasty side-effects?
