Since the server seemed to be a mess, I started over using the
instructions in Chapter 13, Reinitializing Coda Servers after
a Disaster.  Now the coda server runs, though as yet no directories
are mounted.  But venus always fails on very computer on which
venus runs and uses the server.  And example is shown below.

# venus -init &
13:24:59 /usr/coda/LOG setup for size 0x3420cb
13:25:00 /usr/coda/DATA initialized at size 0xd0832c
13:25:00 brain-wiping recoverable store
13:25:01 loading recoverable store
13:25:02 fatal error -- CommInit: RPC2_Init failed
13:25:02 Fatal Signal (11); pid 4947 becoming a zombie...
13:25:02 You may use gdb to attach to 4947

By the way, I ran venus-setup but that did not make a difference.
The command and response is shown below.

# venus-setup caravius,torbato,supercfd 129603
  /etc/services already has new services registered! Good.

What else must I do?
