  This has often confused me when running conserver, because the  
program, often times the system, and the service port are all  
carrying the same name.   :-)  The above error is actually the last.   
It's complaining that it can't find an entry in /etc/services to map  
the name "conserver" to a port number (typically, 782/tcp).  I'm  
curious that you see this error even when specifying the port to use  
via the "-p" argument, but...

  This, and many other common problems, are mentioned in the  
conserver FAQ, which can be found at:

  (This is a DNS error, I think.  At least, I'm not sure, but I  
didn't think -M only knew how to take IP addresses...  Is consrv able  
to be resolved via DNS by other tools?)

  Good luck...
