Just getting back to this. The fastest solution may be to use the stat() plugin for the cmsd and then simply doing a setfsuid() for root before the stat() call.

So, consider this solution (if it actually works). -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/1730#issuecomment-1298117971 You are receiving this because you commented.
