omniNames ?

[Kim Gillies]

Hello All,
  I'm working on porting some of our Neo code that uses the name service to
omniOrb and omniNames.
  On my setup (Solaris 2.6, Ultra 30) I've found that I can't "unbind"
an object unless it is running.  If it isn't running I get a COMM_FAILURE
exception.  This also occurs from nameclt.
  Is an object really required to be running for me to unbind it? Or is
this something odd in my environment?  How does one remove a nonexistent
object?

Thanks,
