Re: ROOT is ignoring login settings ...

    Hi,

    You should explain a bit more what you are trying to do.     If the 'rootd' attempt is the one setup by PROOF then you have to you more details about how you did set it up,

    because by default it should not ask you for authentication.

    The alternative minimal setup is to have simple xrootd running on each machine, with a configuration xrd.cf file like

all.adminpath /nottmp/xrootd-admin
all.export /sw/pool/proofbox

    then

               xrootd -c xrd.cf

    This will serve on port 1094 data from directories under /sw/pool/proofbox .

    You can also glue together these into a real xrootd cluster, so that your machines become a sort of storage

    element. That's a bit more advanced and requires to start and additional daemon.
