No, the KanAccess.cfg stuff is completely separate from xrootd, it
is just what in CMS we now call a "trivial file catalog" that maps
LFNs to PFNs. When you are talking talking to xrootd you already
have some PFN of the forum:
root://host:port/x/y/z/filename
To test xrootd you could do things from the ROOT prompt if you
are using ROOT files (highly probable, of course) with something like:
myfile = TFile::Open("root://host:port/x/y/z/file.root");
myfile->ls();
or you can use the xrootd tool xrdcp (for example) for any time of file:
xrdcp root://host:port/x/y/z/filename .
There is also xrdadmin, but that is more complex for a simple test. (And
not yet well documented, and perhaps not fully tested.)
