I've installed the gridftp server from 3.9.2.  It calls itself 0.6, and I
compiled it with the install script (unthreaded).

I'm getting some strange problems.
I was trying to run it as a standalone server, (not through xinetd), so I had a
config file which specifies the port as 2811.  If I tried to connect to it, it
would send an end-of-file, then the server would go into an endless busy loop,
eating up all the cpu time.  This doesn't happen if I run it from the command
line with no port setting.

The command I used was this:
globus-url-copy gsiftp://grid.host.org:2811/tmp/blah file:///tmp/blah

The output from the client was:
error: an end-of-file was reached
globus_xio: An end of file occurred

The logfile says:
Wed Sep 15 11:56:34 2004 :: Could not start server:
globus_xio: globus_l_xio_tcp_create_listener failed.
globus_xio: A system call failed: Address already in use

(There's only this one server running on this port.  Nothing else has it.)

The stacktrace going into the busy loop looks like this:

And so forth, endlessly.

Another problem is mentioned above:
If I specify a port in a config file, then on every connection attempt, the
server logs:
Wed Sep 15 11:56:34 2004 :: Could not start server:
globus_xio: globus_l_xio_tcp_create_listener failed.
globus_xio: A system call failed: Address already in use

This doesn't happen if I start it up and let it choose it's own random port.  In
that case I get a gsi error:
error: an authorization operation failed
globus_gsi_gssapi: Authorization denied: The name of the remote entity
(/C=AU/O=ORGFOO/OU=BARUNIT/CN=host/grid.host.org), and the expected name for the
remote entity (/C=AU/O=ORGFOO/CN=Damon Smith) do not match

I also don't understand why globus-url-copy would want _my_ DN as the name of
the remote entity, but that may be an unrelated issue.
