Pyrit does not see network cores, does not listen on tcp/19935

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Pyrit on OSX 10.6.7 using this howto: 
http://console-cowboys.blogspot.com/2011/01/setting-up-pyrit-on-osx.html
2. Install Pyrit on Ubuntu 10.04 server
3. Configure either machine to be a server, and the other with a ~/.pyrit/hosts 
file pointing at the right IP of the server
4. make certain any firewalls on both machines are off
5. start one machine with 'pyrit server'
6. attempt to telnet from the other machine to the server on port 19935, 
observe telnet complaining the port is closed
7. run 'pyrit list_cores' on either machine, making sure the hosts file 
contains the IP of the server
8. observe server sit and wait for a client to connect

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd like to see the client successfully contact the server. I'd like the port 
to be open and listening. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Pyrit 0.4.1-dev (svn r302) on ubuntu 10.04 server and osx 10.6.7

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems in both cases the server isnt even listening on a port. I cannot 
telnet to the port even from localhost.

I've been able to get the two pyrit installations to see eachother by changing 
the ~/.pyrit/config file to read like this:

bash-3.2# cat ~/.pyrit/config
default_storage = file://
rpc_announce = true
rpc_announce_broadcast = false
rpc_knownclients = 10.0.0.2
rpc_server = true

However when the client connects to the server, the server dies and throws this 
exception:

Fixed it for ya! It's related to PAW2_Buffer error

Apply this patch with:

patch -p0 < pyrit_paw2bufferfix.patch

inside pyrit_svn branch. In one place cpyrit.py uses PAW2_Buffer constructor 
instead of .pack() method.

Tested it on ubuntu 13.04 and fixes the issue with pyrit serve. The error is on 
the running machine side, not on the serving one.
