[omniORB] Linux problem

[Beat Meier]

Hi

I just reported these problem a few days ago. I'm very new the CORBA
and all but here is what I have found.

The problem is, that on linux the loopback interface is the first one and
it seems, that omniOrb uses the first as default. (do a ifconfig -a and
see the output as root)
You can overide it with an environment variable. I don't remeber maybe
it's OMNINAMES or something
or you can user the option -ORBInitalHost XXX by starting your application
Both are described in the omniORB.ps docu!
The other solution is to change the order of network interfaces.
BTW: Have you debian linux? (I have and had the same problem)

Maybe it would be better for omniorb not to use local loopback as default.
These was may recommendation I think omniorb could check it that
it is not 127.0.0.1 if so it could get the next one and if it has no other
interface it's ok.

Bye
