Bradley:

1. Check that you have the following in /etc/services (I made a blunder
packaging the rpm and wiped one too many entries.).

coda_opcons     1355/udp                        # Coda opcons
coda_auth       1357/udp                        # Coda auth
coda_udpsrv     1359/udp                        # Coda udpsrv
coda_filesrv    1361/udp                        # Coda filesrv
coda_venus      1363/udp                        # Coda venus
coda_backup     1407/tcp                        # coda backup service
codacon         1423/tcp        venus.cmu       # Coda Console
coda_aux1       1431/tcp                        # coda auxiliary service
coda_aux1       1431/udp                        # coda auxiliary service
coda_aux2       1433/tcp                        # coda auxiliary service
coda_aux2       1433/udp                        # coda auxiliary service
coda_aux3       1435/tcp                        # coda auxiliary service
coda_aux3       1435/udp                        # coda auxiliary service


2. Your cache _far_ too small.  It would take a bit of digression to
find out, but the minimum cache size that appears to work is around
10MB so put

/coda:/dev/cfs0:testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu:/usr/coda/venus.cache:10000:1

in vstab.

Thanks for your interest.
