Hi, sorry I lose track of your original request. I think completely remove "allow_other" may not work well as most users won't know this. So I wonder if you can do something like if (getenv("I_dont_allow_other")) cmdline_opts[2] = strdup("fsname=xrootdfs,...") // no allow_other else cmdline_opts[2] = strdup("fsname=xrootdfs, allow_other, ...") You may want to have the environment name look like "XRD_FFS_XYZ". Let me know when you have another pull request Many thanks!
