/usr/coda/venus.cache/venus.log seems OK
in /usr/coda/etc/console, I have a " root cannot acquire Coda tokens!"

It was a server with client too

Yes

The strange thing is that I can read a file (for exemple  /coda/pc/shiva/testfile) but can't see
anything in  /coda/ :-)

ok. We'll use it for non vital things :-)
Do you know approximately a date for a 'release' version ?

And the kernel 2.0.x module won't be developped any more ?
Is it possible to use the 2.1.x kernel module with kernel 2.0.x ?



I have found a bug in kclog:
When you forget -host (i.e running "kclog -kerberos5 manuel" for exemple), It crach in krbsupport.c
line 304 when calling gethostbyname in krb5GetSecret because hostname is null. The problem is that
there is no test to verify that the host option was set in clog.c

Do I send bug reports to the list or... ?

Thank you very much for your time.

Manuel
