newbie question time

Hi, I'm checking out if coda could be useful for me (as I did some
year ago, but I had different needs then), and I've some minor
comments and questions.  I'm installing 5.3.10 rpms on a i386 redhat
linux 7 system.

First some kudos: the package look very professional, and so does the
documentation.  The client worked out of the box against
testserver.coda.cs.cmu.du, which impressed me.

* the scripts add stuff to /etc/conf.modules, ideally it should try
  /etc/modules.conf first (if it exist).

* `vice-setup-rvm' didn't work because it didn't find
  `/usr/sbin/rvmutl'.  Shouldn't it be part of the coda-server rpm?

* what's the status of Coda behind NAT devices?  I got coda-client to
  work fine on a clean redhat7 box, but another box with
  linux-2.4.0-test9 behind a NAT device printed the following.  I'm
  not sure whether it's related to 2.4.0t9 or NAT though...
