Remote administration problems

If you have problems performing remote administration:

• Ensure that user equivalence is configured properly. The account on the local system used to perform the remote task must be recognized by the remote system. In addition, the account must have the authorizations necessary to run the SCOadmin manager.

• Verify your network connections are configured and functional (including the /etc/hosts file or name service).

• Verify that SCOadmin is running on the remote system. This is necessary for all tasks except remote printing. You can set up a printer on a remote system that is not running SCOadmin, but the remote system must support LPD, and the local system must be recognized by the remote system (in /etc/hosts.lpd or /etc/hosts.equiv on UNIX systems). If the remote system is running SCOadmin, it is possible to get a list of the printers available on the system.
