please find attached the clntsrv example adapted to use namespaces.
The general approach is:

1) In the Lua config create an empty namespace and make it accessible
   to your application(s). Note that the example also uses different
   access rights for client and server.

2) On the server side I use the object registry's register_object()
   function, which internally creates an IPC gate and binds the calling
   thread to it. Then I use the namespace's register_object() call to
   make the new channel externally visible.

3) In the client I query for the object name. This call blocks until
   the server has registered the new channel.

Apart from these steps, client and server implementation are identical
to the original example.

Regarding your approach of putting a channel into the namespace within
the Lua config file: This does not work for me. We are still trying to
figure out, why. It's probably indeed be related to the downgrading as
suggested by Christian.
