[HTCondor-users] Is it possible to use remote condor_config_val if password authentication is required?

Hello.

I've run into a problem where remote condor_config_val doesn't work for 
with worker nodes that require password authentication:

# condor_config_val -debug -dump -name i3admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Configuration from master on i3admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is is possible to get condor_config_val to use password authentication? 
(Somebody mentioned in the past that condor tools don't even attempt to 
read the password file.)


Thanks very much,
