Dear Sue,
In the case of anonymous usage there indeed a small problem with
the default values of some new internal flags. This will be fixed
soon in CVS.
For the time being you should be able to get the behaviour you
mention by adding the following env variables in your $HOME/.rootrc
UsrPwd.Crypt 0
UsrPwd.ReUse 0
UsrPwd.LoginPrompt 0
You should then be able to open the file with
root[0] TAuthenticate::SetGlobalUser("anonymous");
root[1] TNetFile* netfile =
new TNetFile("root://localhost//mydatafile.root");
or directly
root[1] TNetFile* netfile =
new TNetFile("root://anonymous@localhost//mydatafile.root");
with no prompt and password automatically generated in the form
<local_username>@<local_host_fqdn>
Please let me know if it works.
Thanks for having reported the problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
