I believe the rest is either in /vice/db, or created whenever volumes
are created.

Ehh, what command is failing here? createvol_rep is a shell-script, so
you can run it with sh -x createvol_rep to see where it fails.

Interesting, there is no RPC2 error code 200, maybe it is an error that
came from the server itself, in which case there should be something in
/vice/srv/SrvLog

If you change anything in the /vice/db/servers or /vice/db/VSGDB files,
you need to restart all servers. These files are only read during
startup.

I don't know, I build the RPMs on a redhat 5.2 system, which is pretty
old. It seems like anyone who is building from source simply skips the
package it up in an RPM step.

Default is 25 hours, no they can't stay longer except if you modify the
source, there is no way to avoid it, use a cronjob
    ( cat /etc/coda-password | clog -pipe username )

to keep authenticated to the server, security wise this is identical to
having a srv.tab kerberos key in /etc.
