Doc Text:
Previously, a remote RMI client could execute code on the RMI server with unrestricted privileges. This security issue in the Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) registry implementation was fixed by the RHSA-2011-1380 security advisory. However, the security restrictions applied by the advisory were too strict and caused the RMI registry to stop working correctly. This update adjusts the RMI registry so it now works as expected.

It was a problem with permissions. It should work now. Sorry about that.
