It means the tcpwrapper which you choose to be the gatekeeper have checked
the client's IP address and decided to refuse the connection.

I suggest you check the hosts.allow and hosts.deny file to review your
access policy.

Either:

1. You have not set anything about this in your omniORB.cfg
   In this case, the tcpwrapper gatekeeper would look at /etc/hosts.allow
   and /etc/hosts.allow.

2. You have set something like this in your omniORB.cfg

   GATEKEEPER_ALLOWFILE   /project/omni/var/hosts.allow

   GATEKEEPER_DENYFILE    /project/omni/var/hosts.deny

   In this case, the tcpwrapper gatekeeper would look at these files.

My guess is your computer has a very restricted /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.

To learn how to write the entries in hosts.allow, hosts.deny, see the
documentation at the end of the omniORB2 user guide.

You can also link with a different gatekeeper, for instance the dummy
gatekeeper which just allow any client to connect.
To do so:

Edit sun4_sosV_5.5.mk or whatever platform file you are using.
Change this like:

omniORB2GatekeeperImplementation = OMNIORB2_TCPWRAPGK

to 

omniORB2GatekeeperImplementation = OMNIORB2_DUMMYGK

Behind all the gnumake black magics, basically the make variable change just
cause the linker option -ltcpwrapGK to be replaced by -lomniGK_stub.
