It means maintaining the global ROT in rpcss and calling into it to 
notifying it when client register or revoke objects. The best way of 
doing this is using MIDL-generated DCE/RPC code. The functions will then 
be called in pretty much the same way as the local functions. This was a 
conscious design decision when I rewrote the running object table code 
so that it would be easier to make global. A good place to look for the 
IDL code for this is Samba. Let me know if you need any more technical help.
