Hi,

I have an issue with venus client not able to start.
Config is as follow
- Sparc arch with 2.6.16.18 kernel and coda module
- codaserver is running on serverA (auth2, rpc2portmap, updatesrv,
updateclnt, codasrv), logs are ok
- using liblwp2 2.2, coda-server 6.1.0, coda_client 6.1.0, librpc2
4.2, librvm 1.13, rvm 1.13, rpc2 2.2

starting venus client on serverB produces the following :
serverB:/var/log/coda# venus -init -d 255

Date: Wed 09/20/2006

and dmesg :

I have a tcpdump running on serverA and I can see that serverB never
tried to contact serverA during its "venus -init".

Running 'cmon serverA' on serverB shows traffic passing through
tcpdump and cmon alos returns current value from serverA. ServerA also
see the cmon command since its SrvLog now contains "11:51:34
client_GetVenusId: got new host x.x.x.x:32794"

So :
My venus client seems broken. Should I tried 6.0.16 ? any hints ?
