    Hi Trent,

       There's a problem accesing CommAPI after setting an
    RMISecurityManager(). I did not have time to find out where
    the problem is, just went thru a simple workaround. Now I
    see somebody else on JINI-USERS reporting the same problem
    and it happens not to appear on Windoze machines.

    Just for your information and for you to be aware of it
    I am attaching two messages (original message and my response)
    to JINI-USERS.

    I personally think the problem may well be at comm.jar
    solaris implementation.

    Best regards
    --Alejandro

    Hi,

    Allow me to clarify this problem further. I am aware of the Java 2
    security policies, and I am starting both the server and client with
    the -Djava.security.policy=policy parameter, where policy contains
    the usual

       permission java.security.AllPermission

    The code works fine on Windows with the win32com.dll driver for
    Javacomm API. But on Linux the same code fails when trying to load
    the RXTXCommDriver (native driver for javacomm on linux). Seems
    like it might be a bug in gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver, either that or
    RMISecurityManager is not behaving the same way on Linux.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    I've experienced that very same problem. My work around was
    to install RMISecurityManager _after_ fetching the desired
    CommPortIdentifier (and of course I can perform I/O on the ports
    after setting RMISecurityManager)

    This is not necessary a problem with RXTXCommDriver,
    there are other components involved such as 'comm.jar'.
