Remote administration problem

If you are performing remote administration, the remote system may be unreachable or there may be a configuration problem (including the lack of remote access permission):

localhost failed to connect to remote host... Error with server process: Permission denied.

These messages (and suggested solutions) are displayed when an Open Host operation fails. Check to make certain you have remote access configured on the remote host. See ``Setting remote access for a user'' for more information.

mount: host:/filesystem server not responding: RPC: Program not registered

The filesystem could not be mounted. Check to see if NFS is running on the remote host.

mount: access denied for host:/filesystem

The host is not available or the filesystem has not been exported.

mount: host not in hosts database

The remote host is not listed in /etc/hosts or is no longer recognized by the nameserver. Check that the nameserver is running.

umount: /filesystem not mounted: Invalid argument

The filesystem is not currently mounted and the manager is attempting to mount it. Cancel the action and try again.

Error while [un]mounting filesystem

The remote filesystem is no longer available. Check the remote host and see if the network is up and running and that the filesystem is exported.
