Re: Distributed objects: connecting to a process running as root?

That's an excellent point.

>Did you try running your server at startup?

I just ran another experiment. I created a launchd .plist for my test server and started it using 'sudo launchctrl load ...'. The server was running as 'nobody'. My test client could connect, get the vended object, and execute code in the server.

I then restarted my computer, letting launchd start an instance of my server at boot time. I again ran my client and it had no problem connecting with the server.

To be thorough, I should probably repeat this experiment as a StartupItem in 10.3, but so far I'm not seeing any limitations -- at least not in 10.4 and launchd.
