Hi all,

I've just installed a coda client of the latest release (6.0.10) on redhat linux enterprise 3.0. I go on to test the client with the testserver. So I first run the setup command:

# venus-setup testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu 20000

Everything seems fine and then I start the client by

# venus &

At first I think it can't connect to the testserver as I couldn't see anything under the /coda directory. However if I browse the directory using

# ls /coda/testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu

then the client can connect to the testserver and I could browse and write to the playground. But it is quite abnormal since the client should be able to scan the volumes and get the path upon startup. Instead I need to explicitly specify the path name to view the stuff on testserver. I check /usr/coda/etc/console and there is the log:

So what's wrong with my coda client?

Thanks in advance.
