That's an impossible path!!!! You must have very buggy software or bogus
maps; "csun" and "csunb" are both at Cal. State University Northridge
(where I happen to attend), and "csunb" only talks to one machine - "csun". 
The "csun" machine is the only site at Northridge that talks to the outside
world, and it does not talk to "cvaxa"....
