1st RMI implementation: where to place the security files?

Question

Hi all!
I'm preparing my first implementation of RMI, I'm using the following example:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/rmi/index.html
At the moment, I have the following questions:
where I have to place the security files? (which directory with what files)
when I try "javaw rmiregistry" there is an error message (can't find main class...)I don't know why... I use the same machine for both client and server... and almoust the same path (client: "...\bin\client" and "...\bin\engine" to server)
Can you help me?
Thanks and regards! :)

1) where I have to place the security files? (which directory with what files) For the given example,
For server, filename will be = server.policy
path = should be in the classpath, for better put in folder from where you are executing.
otherwise, put the exact path in the command as (if file is in c:\:)
{noformat}java -cp c:homeannsrc;c:homeannpublic_htmlclassescompute.jar
-Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:/c:/home/ann/public_html/classes/compute.jar
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=zaphod.east.sun.com
-Djava.security.policy="c:\server.policy"
engine.ComputeEngineSimilary you can do for client.
{noformat}
