I am re-visiting this. Jerry emailed some patches privately and... I
think we misdiagnosed the problem.

To get this out of the way: we should not bind to 0.0.0.0 by default,
ever. The XS is normally a multihomed box, and one of those NICs opens
to a rough neighbourhood known as the open internet.

Now, the real issue seems to be that xs-config has the config name
wrong. I have fixed it in xs-config and rolled a new xs-config. The
olpcxs-testing repo has it ;-)

Jerry - can you confirm that that's the issue? Maybe your patches to
idmgr itself aren't needed?
