The following errors might appear in the local client SAS log when you
attempt a SAS/CONNECT SIGNON to a remote UNIX Server:

ERROR: A communication subsystem partner link setup request failure has
occurred.
ERROR: Cannot start remote process.
ERROR: Remote signon to SERVER cancelled.


The following messages might be displayed on the server when you try to
invoke SAS manually from a UNIX prompt:

ERROR: Library SASUSER does not exist.
FATAL: Unable to initialize the options subsystem.
(SASXKINI): PHASE 3 KERNEL INITIALIZATION FAILED.
UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE SAS KERNEL


To correct the problem, look at the remote SAS config file's SASUSER
specification. If the path currently has an alias associated with it,
for example,

-SASUSER      "~/sasuser.800"

change it to include the full path:

-SASUSER      "/opt/SAS_8.2/.install/tmp/sasuser.800"
