In my case, it's the latter.

ok.

But I still think there is a host related issue, because my code  
seems correct if you take in account my daemon is for a single user  
on a single machine.
In my test, it fails in the method -[NSMessagePortNameServer  
portForName:onHost:]. With NSMessagePort debug level turned on, I get  
the following ouput :

portForName: /etoilesystem host: pcubuntu
non-local host

The last log statement means the returned port is nil.

On the daemon side, the port seems to be properly registered  
according to NSMessagePort debug level output.

Quentin.
