Hi Andreas,

I have just gone through the same trouble. What you might be missing is
that if you are using tcpwrappers (ie have active hosts.allow/deny
files) you need to give orbit access to the right machines.
Unfortunately nobody seems to know the right daemon name for orbit so I
am using ALL : ALL which of course disables hosts.allow completely but
makes gconf work.
The problem is - that I have no idea where the 'daemon name' comes
from. How is it created ? is this a Unix wide standard 'stdmnnme ()'
syscall ? or is it a 'known port' mapping table somewhere
Ultimately a known port approach cannot work with ORBit, since it's per
user and the user can't steal a known port - otherwise no other user
could use it ;-) [ that is unless, we had some sort of badly performing
muxing proxy solution ].
Unfortunately, I don't understand the mechanics of tcpwrapper to answer
your question. (If I did I probably could have figured out the answer.)
In any case most Linux distributions seem to come with tcpwrapper
enabled. The only information I have is in the manual pages:
hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5)
