Can you run the server in daemon mode, and send logs.

as root, this will need to be restarted after each connection. if not root, be 
sure to use the -s option of globus-url-copy

set GLOBUS_ERROR_OUTPUT=1 GLOBUS_ERROR_VERBOSE=1 in the env

globus-gridftp-server -debug -d all -l /tmp/gridftplog -p <port>

if the process segfaults or asserts, please run it under gdb:
gdb --args <above command>
in gdb type 'run' to start it, and 'where' to show a trace at the time of 
failure. -- send that output.

I run the globus-url-copy as not root.

Thanks.

Please try running globus-url-copy with the -nodcau option.

If that works, do you have /etc/grid-security/certificates as well as 
~/.globus/certificates, or are you setting X509_CERT_DIR on the server or 
client environment?

I tried globus-url-copy -nodcau. It's works fine.

I have /etc/grid-security/certificates. I dont have ~/.globus/certificates.
X509_CERT_DIR is not set. A server and a client are the same machine.

Created an attachment (id=795) [details]
an ad hoc patch.

I have solved this problem.  I have made an ad hoc patch and
rebuild the GT4. Then globus-url-copy was successed without the
-nodcau option.

I found tow bugs. One is GSI and another is FTP.

  - In GSI, sysconf() has returned an error.

  - FTP is mistaken in the usage of _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX. 

The details of the bug of GSI are shown below:

    The following is an extract from
    source-trees/gsi/sysconfig/source/library/globus_gsi_system_config.c:

      3947  #ifdef _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX
      3948      buf_len = sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) + 1;
      3949  #else
      3950      buf_len = 1024;
      3951  #endif

      4344  #ifdef _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX
      4345      buf_len = sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) + 1;
      4346  #else
      4347      buf_len = 1024;
      4348  #endif

    _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX is defined on Mac OS X. However,
    sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) returns an error. Therefore, the
    constant is used as below when error was retured.

        buf_len  = sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX);
        if (buf_len < 0) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Warning: sysconf() returned error.\n");
            buf_len = 1024;
        }

The details of the bug of FTP are shown below:

    The following is an extract from 
    source-trees/gridftp/server/src/globus_i_gfs_data.c:

        23  #if defined(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX)
        24  #define GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE         _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX
        25  #else
        26  #define GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE        (USER_NAME_MAX*3)+(PATH_MAX*2)
        27  #endif

       460      char                                pw_buffer[GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE];
       461      struct passwd                       pwent_mem;
       462      struct passwd *                     pw_result;
       463      struct passwd *                     pwent = NULL;
       464
       465      rc = globus_libc_getpwuid_r(getuid(), &pwent_mem, pw_buffer,
       466                  GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE, &pw_result);

       482      char                                pw_buffer[GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE];
       483      struct passwd                       pwent_mem;
       484      struct passwd *                     pw_result;
       485      struct passwd *                     pwent = NULL;
       486
       487      rc = globus_libc_getpwnam_r(
       488          (char *)name, &pwent_mem, pw_buffer,GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE,
&pw_result);

    _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX is an argument passed to sysconf(). It is not
    the length of buffer.

    The example of use _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX is below.

        #define GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE        (USER_NAME_MAX*3)+(PATH_MAX*2)
        long length;
        cahr *pw_buffer;

        length  = sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX);
        if (length < 0) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Warning: sysconf() returned error.\n");
            length = GSC_GETPW_PWBUFSIZE;
        }
        pw_buffer = malloc(length);
        if (pw_puffer == NULL) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't allocate pw_buffer.\n");
            exit(1);
        }

Thanks, a fix has been committed to CVS.  4.0.1 update packages should be 
available soon at: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/advisories.html.
