Linux notes for Ice 3.4.2

Linux users should be aware of the following issues.

Mono host names

Mono requires that a system's host name be correctly configured and that it resolves to an IP address. Otherwise, Mono is unable to determine the local IP addresses, which causes the creation of object adapters that listen on INADDR_ANY/0.0.0.0 to fail with an Ice.DNSException.

IBM JDK jurisdiction policy files

The IBM JDK ships with limited jurisdiction policy files for the cryptographic libraries. More information, including a link to download unrestricted jurisdiction policy files, are available at the DeveloperWorks site.

Once you have downloaded the policy files, unpack them into this directory:

/usr/lib/jvm-private/java-1_6_0-ibm/jce/vanilla
