The above may be fine except that if you are running a supervisor on the
same node as the managerr then you really need to differentiate it using
an instance name. You do this using the '-n' option (e.g. '-n sup1')
otherwise the two daemons will stomp on each other which is not good.
Instance names are described in:

http://xrootd.org/doc/dev42/xrd_config.htm#_Toc411375787

Yes, you need to start an xrootd/cmsd pair.

Well, this is why I recommend not turning on debugging. This is output
from debugging and the log will be flooded with these kinds of messages
(usually leading to a logfile that is several gigabytes long). All it
means is that the manager asked the supervisor to lookup a file but there
were no subscribers to the supervisor so the lookup could not occur. Quite
normal.

Yes, you need to start a suprevisor xrotd/cmsd pair.

Yes, because full debugging is turned on (I would not recommend that).

Yes, in fact the supervisor forces arbitrary port number assignment. There
is no need to give supervisors a specific port.

No, the only time a supervisor is used is when the 65th connection is made
to the manager. In that case, the connectee is told to connect to the
supervisor.

Well, then we may have a problem here. What is exactly firewalled here?
That is where do you restrict port number usage?

As for teh config:

!!! Note that this causes problems for the xrdmapc command and isn't fixed
     until 4.2.3 (Marian has the details).

!!!Unless there is a reason to turn on complete debugging, I strongly
advise against it as it produces a humongous amount of log output, most of
which is useless in the general case.
