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...
