No.

You can define local configurations in SGE for each exechost which is different 
from the ones defined in `qconf -sconf`. E.g. the path to the mail application 
is different between Linux and Solaris exechosts.

The list of local configurations can be displayed with: `qconf -sconfl`. Most 
often the settings are the same anyway in a homogenous cluster, hence I usually 
delete all local configurations. The message is harmless.

Which entries can be overridden by a local configuration is documented in `man 
sge_conf`.
