Hi Andy, Erik, we do only "cms.allow host *.purdue.edu" on UNL xrootd.unl.edu. Not xrd.allow ... Are you saying we should specifically add on UNL redirector "xrd.allow host *xrootd.unl.edu"? Not "xrd.allow host *xrootd.rcac.purdue.edu"? Sorry not concentrating on the whole content and your explanation right now, just want to know what to do and we'll add it at UNL and restart xrootd.unl.edu cmsd/xrootd there. I'm currently at CERN ready go to bed, almost :). Thanks, Marian PS: Log files from xrootd.unl.edu - they rolled out, I can see no logs before 20150222 which won't help here now as we need 20150220 based on Erik's message...
