In the etc/StartXRD.cf and etc/StartOLB.cf example files we find the
following line.
RESP=`/usr/local/bin/taylor -q opts | grep '^olbd=.*master'`
1. We don't have a program called "taylor" and I wondered what it does.
2. In the case of the StartXRD.cf, should it really be grepping for
oldb=.*master, or should it be looking at xrootd=.*master??
As written it would seem to force the olbd master and the xrootd
redirector to run on the same host, which may well be efficient and
desirable, and therefore a "good thing", but perhaps not conducive to a
clear understanding of how things work (as evidenced by my suspicion
about why it is done this way).
