I've got Coda running fine now, after a few initial hurdles. A couple of questions, though: Little is said in the various howto-documents and manuals about the methods and implications of choosing and changing the size of the venus cache. If I understand correctly, it has to be larger than the largest file you will ever access through Coda -- right? Am I correct in assuming that, to change it, you have to synchronise the client to the server, shut down venus, change the parameter in venus.conf, and restart venus with "-init"? If I understand correctly, Coda security is currently completely (and securely) implemented, except for the single quirk that only the RPC2_XOR encryption method is available. Correct? Am I right to think that it's just a matter of adding DES en-/decryption support to ...rpc2/rpc2-src/secure.c (and, possibly, other methods along with new constants in ...rpc2/include/rpc2/rpc2.h), and there will be support for proper security on the wire? It seems, though, that Coda will not use it, as the RPC2_OPENKIMONO and RPC2_XOR values are explicitly coded into the Coda source. Should changing these to RPC2_SECURE and RPC2_DES (or some other encryption scheme) be expected to work? -tih -- Tom Ivar Helbekkmo, Senior System Administrator, EUnet Norway www.eunet.no T: +47-22092958 M: +47-93013940 F: +47-22092901Received on 2004-04-27 03:38:59
