The error message 'Host is currently unavailable' is telling you that
whatever login service you configured for that user as the host in
his radius entry, user table entry, or on the port default host
is not responding to the PM's requests.

Check that the hosts defined in the raius enteries, user table on the PM,
the default host settings on the ports and the default hosts in the global
config all reference hosts that are online and capable of handling
rlogin, telnet or portmaster device requests.

Hmmm. 'set all security on' for starters

Check each of the ports and make sure they have the same configuration.
Note that a port with an active session doesn't show all the same information
as an IDLE one. Don't ask me why, I don't know.

If you want you can do 'set all' for all the various parameters, save all
and reset all.
