My application is not a network service and is not creating any incoming TCP sockets. I *am* creating some named BSD sockets for distributed object communications (something I had to do to get the app to run on Leopard -- yes, there's plenty of irony here).

What exactly are "named BSD sockets for distributed objects communications", and how do you create them? Are you using DO between two different machines, or between two processes on the same machine?


The firewall thinks you're listening on IP address 0.0.0.0. That IP address means that you'll accept connections from anywhere. If your intention was to only communicate between two processes on the same machine, you should be listening on the loopback address (127.0.0.1). Or, better yet, switch to UNIX domain sockets. Or do your DO over Mach messages.

I can give you more specific advice once I know how you're setting up your DO.
