Wilko, is that not true? Artem and I do the restart and also do some of the configuration of the xrootds but setting up a release so that it gets distributed by taylor is done by Andy. Any how, I am restarting the xrootd servers from the latest version, 20041118-0948, but right now it doesn't start which looks like a configuration issue.
