Hi Derek, Way too much depends on this behaviour (it is even documented). The eason this is done is that the same config file can be used for multiple instances of an xrootd running on the same machine. The only way to keep all of the infrastructure files seprated is to diffrentiate them with the instance name. Notice that you probably specified an instance name because had you not xrootd could not start-up because of the file naming/permission problem. If you ned the logfile to be what you exactly specified, then you shouldn't specify an instance name. If you need to specify an instance name then it means you have a conflict with some other xrtootd. See the problem?
