hi,

i finally got rid of the error "Cannot get port from rpc2portmap; exiting"
was due to the /etc/lmhosts ---> 127.0.0.1 localhost
and the file      /etc/hosts     --->  127.0.0.1 server1
                                                  10.1.10.25 server1
                                                  10.1.10.26 server2
and i changed the /etc/hosts file from server1 to localhost.localdomain for
the loopback ip.

and i started out with my client on another machine with "venus -init", i am
getting the error
"GetRootVolume : can't get root volume name"

In my coda server my /vice/vol/VRList has
"rootvol  7F000000 1 1000001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 E0000100"
and /vice/vol/VolumeList has
"P/vicepa Hserver1 T5d700 F5c6bb
 Wrootvol.0 I1000001 H1 P/vicepa m0 M0 U2 W1000001 C38cf2108 D38cf2108 B0
A0"

what might be wrong? also i donot have the "createvol" is it not available
with version coda-debug-*-5.3.4 ?
what is the difference between these createvol and createvol_rep? the logs
on the server doesnot contain anything interesting.

thanks in advance,
madhav
