To work around such problems, many servers bind every single IP instead
of listening on 0.0.0.0 as the coda servers do. If the server binds
every single IP, it is as reachable is if it had bound to 0.0.0.0, but
the server can determin to which IP addr the packet was send and it can
decide with which IP addr to answer.

localhost resolves here to 192.168.0.1 while he rpc is sending from
192.168.2.1... thus it fails

debian/sid, linux-2.4.0 + cryptoapi-0.1.0 + rsbac-1.2.1 (rsbac.org) +
super-freeswan-1.99-kb2 (www.freeswan.ca/code/super-freeswan/). Note
that this happens while running rsbac in softmode (i.e. the access
restrictions don't apply) and the rsbac system isn't complaining about
some security violations)
