macosx 10.2.1, getservbyname: conserver: Undefined error: 0

I installed conserver 7.2.4 on macosx 10.2.1.  After installation I had to add /usr/local/sbin to my PATH and to the conserver.rc script.

My goal is to communicate to an external serial device operating at 9600 bps, one stop, no parity, no handshaking.  The device is connected through the USB serial port at /dev/tty.USA19QW11P1.

I am getting the following error when starting up:

  conserver: getservbyname: conserver: Undefined error: 0

I have included below the output from conserver -V, and the files conserver .cf, conserver.passwd, and conserver.rc.

Thanks for any help!
