Brian--

You're close... what it means is that you need an entry in your
/etc/hosts file that identifies the node as the conserver node.

For example, a line in my /etc/hosts files looks like:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost conserver
console

Subject: Getting started with conserver

Good morning. I'm just getting started with conserver and have been been

trying to deploy it in a test environment prior to moving it into
production. Although the FAQ's and docs on the site are limited, they
appear to be relatively clear.

However, after doing the basic "configure, make, make install", setting
up the conserver.cf and conserver.passwd files, I am getting the
following error when running `conserver -d`:

# conserver -vd
[Mon Oct 24 10:50:58 2005] conserver (11072): conserver.com version
8.1.12
[Mon Oct 24 10:50:58 2005] conserver (11072): started as `root' by
`root'
[Mon Oct 24 10:50:58 2005] conserver (11072): INFO: interface address
127.0.0.1 (lo)
[Mon Oct 24 10:50:58 2005] conserver (11072): INFO: interface address
10.10.59.55 (eth0)
[Mon Oct 24 10:50:58 2005] conserver (11072): ERROR:
getservbyname(conserver) failed

The best I can figure is that the reference for conserver is not found
in /etc/services?

Also, there is no mention of it on the site, but I don't see anything
that mentions a service listening on the client side. Right now I have
the menu.lst (grub) configured with:

default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=10 serial console
title SUSE LINUX 9.3
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 selinux=0 \
console=ttyS0,9600n8 x11i=vesa resume=/dev/hda1 showopts
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd

Which, by all rights, should accept logins via ttyS0.

Any input or better documentation available?

Thanks,

Like this?:

# more /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost conserver\ console

I still get:

# conserver -vd

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).

Thanks, Bryan.
