How to use DO in a Foundation-based daemon

[Quentin Mathé]

Hi,

I'm looking for help on how to set up NSConnection properly in a  
gnustep daemon (Foundation only).
I tried various strategies without success. I usually start gdomap  
from rc.local (running then with nobody identity), I have also tried  
to run it with root identity and the flags -fd.

When I call -registerName: on the connection, the method returns YES  
as if everything went smoothly but on gdomap side I can clearly  
observe that nothing happened. I checked registered names by running  
gdomap with -N flag too. The output doesn't include my newly  
registered name, but does include the names I register by calling  
gdomap -T number -R name.

Here is my setup code :

NSConnection *connect = [NSConnection defaultConnection];
NSRunLoop *runloop = [[NSRunLoop alloc] init];

[connect addRunLoop: runloop];
[connect setRootObject: myServerInstance];

if ([connect registerName: "serverName"] == NO)
        NSLog(@"Unable to register the name");

[runloop run];

The problem is the same if I use a custom connection and not the  
default one.

May be this problem happens because NSHost default isn't set? On my  
machine [NSHost currentHost] returns  '((pcubuntu, localhost)  
(127.0.0.1, 127.0.1.1))'

If I link AppKit and I call [NSApp run] instead of setting up my own  
run loop, -registerName: returns NO failing in a clear manner.

Cheers,
Quentin.
