Hmm, RPC2_Init fails, either another server is already/still running, or
the codasrv/codasrv-se ports are missing from /etc/services.

Yes, it should be renamed. It can be used to edit/view several
fileserver structures in RVM. It is useful only in a few cases, to fix
up corrupt directory structures, or destroy volumes on which the server
crashes during recovery. In that way it is a bit like ext2's debugfs
program, which is sometimes the only way to fix really serious ext2fs
corruptions.
