+Summary: Configuration of Remoting via .config file fails
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+RedHat 9.0 with Mono 0.29.99
+
+Use the config files below on Mono 0.29 appears to fail to configure 
+remoting, and expose an endpoint for a client to connect to:
+
+<configuration>
+	<system.runtime.remoting>
+		<application>
+			<service>
+				<wellknown mode="Singleton" 
+objectUri="Test.rem" type="servicecomlib.HelloServer, servicecomlib" />
+			</service>
+			<channels>
+				<channel ref="tcp" port="8085"/>
+			</channels>
+		</application>
+	</system.runtime.remoting>
+</configuration>
+
+Server Code in C# use the above .cofig file
+
+RemotingConfiguration.Configure("servercomlib.exe.config");
+
+Client code to connect to endpoint
+
+string svr = "tcp://"+ args[0] + ":8085/Test.rem";
+IServerObject s = Activator.GetObject(typeof(IServerObject),svr) as 
+IServerObject;
+
+
+However, if a config file is not used server side, and explicit C# calls 
+are made to configure the server remoting endpoints:
+
+ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new TcpChannel(8085));
+RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof
+(servicecomlib.HelloServer),"Test.rem", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);
+
+Then the above client code connects ok
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Put the above XML in a config files
+2. Execute this line to load the config files and configure the remoting 
+server
+
+RemotingConfiguration.Configure("servercomlib.exe.config");
+
+3. Try connecting a client to the endpoint
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Any client trying to connect to a remoting server using the above config 
+file get a remoting exception "Cannot create channel sink to connect 
+to ..."
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Executing
+
+RemotingConfiguration.Configure("servercomlib.exe.config");
+
+Should configure remoting correctly and allow clients to connect to the 
+exposed endpoint
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+always
