Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 52698

Question

I\'m using SSH to access my university\'s afs system. I like to use rmate (remote TextMate), which requires SSH tunneling, so I included this alias in my .bashrc. <

Answer 1

I experienced this problem, but it was while connecting to a server on which I don't have sudo priviliges, so the top response suggesting runing sudo netstat ... wasn't feasible for me.

I eventually figured out it was because there were still instances of rmate running, so I used ps to list the running processes and then kill -9 pid (where pid is the process ID for rmate).
