[omniORB] newbie quick queries

[Eric Damphousse]

Hi Karl,

This is just an example I made up. The project I am thinking of doing 
with omniORB is remote configuration and monitoring of machines, 
whatever they might be. An admin would use a client that runs locally on 
his/her machine to configure and or monitor machines that come under his 
or her supervision.

Another example is lets say I want to create a new user, lets say Karl, 
under 10 *nix. For my local box I would create Karl + whatever is 
needed, select all those 10 machines that you need access to, push a 
button and all those 10 *nix would have Karl added to them.

In this scenario, I would have an object called createuser running on 
100's of machines. I the manager would only have to select a subset of 
those machines from my local client, set you up, and I am done.
