Sorry Brian,
Matt did attend but I understood that you hadn't actually set
up the test system yet. It is not a problem - you are clearly
not doing it on prod'n system, and we are all agog for the results!
Having said that, you do need to run gsidcap because dcap itself
isn't secure.
Cheers,

production system!)
No news from Lancaster, but they are doing it with dCache and
not on their production system! Usefulness will depend on a
replication facility to replicate between the sites."
Sorry for not attending, apologies, i thought Matt was attending.
with respsect to a cross-site SE, replication across sites? why is
that a problem. Is this the gsi'ed dcap issue? Or is this an issue
for accessing CE's which may be close to one site but not other ( ie
running on a manchester WN from a file on Lancaster storage pool and
vice-versa?)
