Ah, thanks!

About 6.x - is the vanilla source compilable on FreeBSD (4.8)? I am getting 
errors pretty fast about redefinitions of types when it compiles 
kerndep/pioctl.c (which I assume is needed for the client only?).

I understand from the previous thread that someone supposedly has 6.x, even 
the client, working on FreeBSD 5.x, which would indicate 6.x is "supposed" to 
work on FreeBSD. Any special procedure needed to compile it, beyond what is 
in the cocs? Is the FreeBSD realms patch on the FTP site (for 4.8 and 
current) for realms support for 5.x, or is it meant as a patch to make the 
Coda 6 client work?

I was going to stick to 5.x for now and wait for 6.x to make it into ports, 
but if the re-intergration problem is fixed in 6.x I'd like to have a shot at 
it.

MIght have been it, not sure. I'll have a go next time. But the kernel support 
is definitely killed because "df" yields complaints about missing upcalls 
afterwards.

Thanks a lot!
