+# In LifeCycleCORBA, FactoryServer is started with rsh on the requested
+# computer if this Container does not exist. Default is localhost.
+# Others Containers are started with start_impl method of FactoryServer Container.
+# For using rsh it is necessary to have in the ${HOME} directory a .rhosts file
+# Warning : on RedHat the file /etc/hosts contains by default a line like :
+# 127.0.0.1 bordolex bordolex.paris1.matra-dtv.fr localhost.localdomain localhost
+# (bordolex is the station name). omniNames on bordolex will be accessible from other
+# computers only if the computer name is removed on that line like :
+# 127.0.0.1 bordolex.paris1.matra-dtv.fr localhost.localdomain localhost
+
+# To start dynamically Containers on several computers you need to
+# put in the ${OMNIORB_CONFIG} file a computer name instead of "localhost"
+# example : ORBInitRef NameService=corbaname::dm2s0017
+
+# If you need to use several omniNames running on the same computer, you have to :
+#1. put in your ${OMNIORB_CONFIG} file a computer name and port number
+# example : ORBInitRef NameService=corbaname::dm2s0017:1515
+#2. start omninames with this port number in runNS.sh
+# example : omniNames -start 1515 -logdir ${BaseDir}/logs/${Username} &
