It is late here and I am tired, so I will make this brief and elaborate in the morning if you need me too. I just compiled and installed the coda 5.3.3 tarball under Debian Linux (potato). The coda kernel module is loaded. When I point the client at testserver.cs.cmu.edu it "Cannot find RootVolume". I consulted the documentation. My /etc/services file is correct, I have plenty of hard drive space, and though I am sort-of being nated I have never had any problems with udp traffic before (quake & other things). The documentation suggests: cmon testserver.cs.cmu.edu:100 Which printed that testserver.cs.cmu.edu was not a valid server. I noticed that the host command failed to look it up and that the title of the section was "... connect to testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu" so I ran venus-setup with that option which also failed to find the RootVolume. I also tried coda.cs.cmu.edu, which has a different ip address, this didn't work either. Is the test server down for repairs tonight? Is there something simple my tired mind is missing? Regardless I will setup, or attempt to setup a coda server on a local lan FreeBSD machine tomorrow. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if I am being a nuisance.
