perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi Alex,

Thanks, your issue is still in the tracker and your solution is the correct 
one.  We use env_proxy in other components but it must have got missed there. 
Next time we cut a new LSCacheDaemon RPM we will get this added.

Thanks,
Andy
