You're obviously right - I was confusing venus-setup w/ venus (I agree - it
did a good job of behaving nicely :))

Here's what /vice/db/servers contains:

[root_at_serv1 /root]# cat /vice/db/servers
serv1           1
serv1           1
++

Questions:
a) should it contain two entries?
b) should it contain the fully qualified domain name?

Regards,
Brice

p.s. I really appreciate all the help I'm getting, thank you.
