Actually I think these are two different bugs.

As far as the /etc/services thing, I think I'm going to drop that entry,
join the 21st century and use ZeroConf (via Avahi) to solve this problem
(which is exactly the problem zeroconf was meant to solve) - bonus
points for working over a network as well, which /etc/services doesn't.

If anyone has any serious objections to Lash depending on Avahi, speak
now or forever hold your peace...
