What I was missing was that this framework starts listening on the loopback interface unless it's configured otherwise (netstat -an is my friend). It's when an application asks to listen on an outward-facing interface that the system spots it and offers to sign it. Can't help feeling that should perhaps have been easier to find documentation on. Nevermind: it's all in the great googlemaw now.
