By default, HTCondor will use port 9618. If the Linux machine doesn't already have HTCondor installed, and the admin is willing to open that port, then you don't have to do anything. Otherwise, you'll need to add a line like the following to =LOCAL_DIR/condor_config.local=, replacing '9618' with whatever port the administrator opened for you. {file: LOCAL_DIR/condor_config.local} -SHARED_PORT_PORT = 9618 +COLLECTOR_HOST = $(FULL_HOSTNAME):9618 {endfile} {subsection: Activate the new configuration}
