hi all,

i am having a working installation of 2 coda servers.
one is the scm and the other is a replication.

i successfully copied data to the coda mount point and saw it getting 
replicated on both vicepas.

now before using it for something productively i thought about testing a 
failure sceanrio. so i stopped the replication server. indeed i could 
use the mount file.

so i tried to copy data onto the mounted coda partition. IMHO i thought 
that it gets copied to the online server and later replicated to the 
server when it is online again. but nothing happened. the client stuck 
with the cp command and the vicepa of the online server did not change 
at all (using df-h).

so i canceld the command and tried to put the second server online 
again. that worked. but after refreshing the client services I got the 
following log messages:

[ X(00) : 0000 : 12:28:23 ] Coda Venus, version 6.9.1

hmmm...
What failure szenarios do really work?

As a second thing: in my scenario i do not really need acls, since i am 
only interested in using coda for shared data and i am having firewalls 
  such that only privileged hosts can access the file servers. can i 
somehow configure the volumes such that everbody can access them without 
the need to do clog? are there some good pointers i can rtfm for this case.

if i get the above to work, coda is really cool!!!
thanks in advance
