AUTO DETECTION

       The  server  will  be auto located if no server name is given.  First it will look for the
       environment variable $ROAR_SERVER.  If this variable is non existing libmuroar will do the
       auto location based on a list of possible server locations.  This list contains the user's
       private socket address, the global UNIX socket  address,  an  entry  for  localhost  using
       TCP/IP,  the local default DECnet object address as well as an entry for the abstract UNIX
       namespace (+abstract).
