This indicates that your client is trying to contact the rmtsys service.
rmtsys should only be used if you are using an AFS/NFS translator, and not
when using a native cache manager. The use of rmtsys on a client is
triggered by the existence of an environment variable named AFSSERVER or
files named .AFSSERVER in your home directory or in /. If you have any such
things, you need to get rid of them.
