Was there any successful resolution to this problem? I'm seeing what appears
to be the same symptoms on my second server (Redhat6.2, Coda-5.3.8 built
with krb5 support).

- kauth2/auth2 refuses to run, giving the "base PDB record does not exist."
error
- codasrv dies immediately after loading entire data space into memory
- updateclnt appears to be running fine, but VLDB and VRDB aren't being
replicated
- I am using kerberos for auth - is there anything special I need to do for
a replicated server?

TIA for any help resolving this, it's driving me crazy...
