Re: [HTCondor-users] jobs getting run as nobody

[Francisco Pereira <francisco.pereira@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

Yes, STARTER_ALLOW_RUNAS_OWNER = TRUE on both submitter (head node) and executer sides (sorry for omitting this). I also checked that /etc/nsswitch.conf is giving priority to /etc/hosts in determining the domain name, just in case, although from the manual I thought specifying FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN would obviate the need for this.

thank you!

Did You have

STARTER_ALLOW_RUNAS_OWNER = TRUE

On the execute side?

Subject: [HTCondor-users] jobs getting run as nobody

Â

hi,

Â

I am trying to understand the circumstances in which a job will run as user "nobody", rather than the user that submitted the job, which we would prefer.

Â

We have home directories mounted via NFS to all the machines in a small cluster, and the UIDs for users are the same across them. As suggested in the manual, I set

Â

FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN = <our domain>

UID_DOMAIN = <our domain>

TRUST_UID_DOMAIN = TRUE

SOFT_UID_DOMAIN = TRUE

Â

in the configuration files of both the submitting and executing machine. I then submit a job with a test script that has

Â

run_as_owner = True

Â

and gives us the output of `pwd`, `hostname` and `whoami`, which confirms that it runs as "nobody" in the correct machine.

Â

What am I overlooking here?

Â

thank you very much for any help!

Francisco
