Has anyone previously attempted to implement Distributed Objects over

someone has already done something similar, to save me from having to
make sense of the crazy DO documentation.
If I must whip this one up myself, would I be correct in assuming I
should start by creating a subclass of NSSocketPort which uses
SecureTransport... or should I be subclassing NSPort?
On a related point, is it yet possible to provide a SSL server (via
SecureTransport) with a root certificate, without needing root
privileges? I haven't checked yet, but I know there's been a lot of
complaining about Keychain's inabilities in this area..
If what you really need is a secure transport for DO, you might be able
to tunnel it over SSH. If you need to use SSL, you will probably need
your own NSPort subclass. There was at one time a developer example of
a custom TCP-based DO transport, which you should still be able to find.
