Hello Pete

I will not make it to the meeting, so here is the status of xrootd at SLAC:

- No problems with the kan and bbrprod clusters.
- Still didn't switch to "writing via the redirector" for skimming.
  (Will be done when the next production version is available)

- Testing the latest development version 20050620-0614

  * able to write via the redirector (didn't work before
    because of the session id problem).
  * xrdcp (for writing) goes back to the redirector if a data server goes
    don. My understanding is that that xrdcp (after being redirected
    ones) should not go back to the redirector.
  * Can't get XrdClientAdmin to work (reported in another thread)
  * xrootd.protocol option causes server not to start if used in config
    file (reported in previous email)

  I will do more test in the next few days.

Cheers,
   Wilko
