Re: Getting started with conserver

while having a 'console' entry in /etc/hosts might be necessary for the
client to connect (and you have a backslash there...that might not be
desired), the error was regarding getservbyname(), which means it's a
missing entry in /etc/services.  FAQ question #5 talks about that
(briefly) as well as the INSTALL file (again, briefly - the --with-port
configuration step).  basically, what you need is:

            console      782/tcp    conserver    # console server

listed in /etc/services.  then, you should be good to go (with the
caveat regarding /etc/hosts above).
