What do you mean by "fails to turn up the codaauth service number" ?
  This is a reasonably standard RedHat 6.1 installation, with the
  standard yp utilities. There don't seem to be any ports defined
  for yp in /etc/services (should there be ?), and they just seem
  to grab any old ports (e.g. for one run, rpcinfo says ypbind uses
  930 (udp) and 932 (tcp), the next 603 & 605, the next 720 & 722,
  ...). Even if I have managed to start up the Coda daemons, once yp
  is running I can't start up a Coda volume. The two services seem
  to be mutually exclusive.
