Re: 'console -r' only lists localhost

Hey Bryan,

Please disregard my previous messages about connecting to localhost.
False alarm!

Turns out I had not restarted conserver correctly (I just did
'conserver -v' and forgot to add '-p 3109').

Now it works!

  $ console -r
  127.0.0.1: version `conserver.com version 8.1.16'
  vr01.lax.digisynd.com: version `conserver.com version 8.1.16'
  $

  $ console lp02vm
  [Enter `^Ec?' for help]
  ...

For the record, this is what I have for the "lp02vm" console now:

  console lp02vm {
          master vr01.lax.digisynd.com;
          type exec;
          port 5002;
  }

I also removed the "config" entry from /etc/conserver/console.cf,
turns out it is not needed.

Thanks for the help!
