Hi roottalk,
The behavior of anonymous rootd usage has apparently changed between root v3.05/07
and root v3.10/01. With root v3.05/07, I can access a rootd server set up for anonymous
usage using the following commands:
root[0] TAuthenticate::SetGlobalUser("anonymous");
root[1] TAuthenticate::SetGlobalPasswd("schubert@hep.umn.edu");
root[2] TNetFile* netfile = new TNetFile("root://localhost//mydatafile.root");
The anonymous rootd server is set up as per the instructions on:
http://root.cern.ch/root/NetFile.html and mydatafile.root is located in the home directory
specified in the /etc/passwd file. The rootd daemon is started from the xinetd.d superdaemon.
Running the same set of commands and setup procedures using root v3.10/01 for both the root session and
rootd binary, I find that I am prompted for a username even though this has been set globally:
root[0] TAuthenticate::SetGlobalUser("anonymous");
root[1] TAuthenticate::SetGlobalPasswd("schubert@hep.umn.edu");
root[2] TNetFile* netfile = new TNetFile("root://localhost//mydatafile.root");
Name (localhost:kasahara):
and that if I try to enter anonymous as the username at the prompt, I get a segv.
I'm wondering what the procedure is for connecting to a rootd server anonymously
with 3.10/01. I would like for this to procedure to not require a prompt for username/passwd.
I am using gcc 3.2.2 on rh linux 9.0.
Thanks in advance for your help!
