There are two communication mechanisms, TCP/IP and one which is used
for local communications.

In the default configuration (at least in a Gnome installation), TCP
is disabled.

My guess is that you need TCP/IP for communication between different
users on the same machine. You can enable this by including 
ORBIIOPIPv4=1 in the system orbitrc or in ~/.orbitrc of the users
involved.
