Re: [HTCondor-users] File xfer error, setting mismatch

try running

 

condor_config_val -v -dump SEC_PASSWORD

 

I think you will see that SEC_PASSWORD_DIRECTORY is set to /etc/condor/passwords.d

Hi,

I have setup HTCondor on linux cluster. I installed from yum repo, on Centos7.8. CM is dual nic and all exec nodes are on private LAN. I plan to use file transfer method rather than use a shared filesystem.  I submit jobs and slots of the exec node are alotted but job fails because of file transfer failure. Below is clipping from the job log

007 (024.009.000) 06/12 01:40:08 Shadow exception!
        Error from slot2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Failed to transfer files
        0  -  Run Bytes Sent By Job
        0  -  Run Bytes Received By Job
...

Secondly, I notice an anomaly about SEC_PASSWORD_FILE. In the security config file, the following is the line

SEC_PASSWORD_FILE = /etc/condor/password.d/POOL

However, in the StarterLog of the particular slot on the exec node, the directory is "passwords.d".  I am unable to figure out where the directory is set as "passwords.d" instead of "password.d". I grepped through the config files, failed to find.

Below are more lines from the StarterLog of the slog (on the exec node)

Where could it be picking up different setting than what is in the file in config.d? Or any other error?

Thanks for helping out!
