What do you expect to happen trying to connect to the local host before
a listening service has bound to the appropriate port?  I'd expect
"Connection refused".

My original reply simply answered the question "is RMI broken on
FreeBSD", for which the answer is probably "no".  I'm now guessing. :-)

I'm just answering in the absence of more clueful answers.  I haven't
played with low-level RMI stuff myself; it's always been managed for me
by something else.

Ciao,
