Everything seems in place, but no succcess. Wiped-out coda-server,
re-installed venus from coda-client_5.3.7-2_i386.deb, loaded coda.o, 
issued "venus-setup testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu 50000",
/etc/services is perfect, portmap is working, and cmon 
shows that testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu is alive, and there is now
no firewall in between. Will welcome any suggestions.

Numerous difficulties were encountered while running my own server, so shall
use the testserver first. (In particular: auth2.log did not exit on the
anywhere on disk, and  startserver always begun it detected a CRASH
file in /vice/srv - even after a clean install, and /vic/srv/Srv.Err was 
reporting that it could not find key 2 ).

Now back to venus, after a clean install:
