OK.. The problem is that 'init' thinks that the 'lsv' process has exited.
You *might* try using this instead, and see if the lack of redirection starts making it
work:

ls:235:respawn:/home/listserv/go bg

You probably also want to check /home/listserv/listserv.log and see if you have
any error messages in there....

(Note that you probably want to start it at run levels 2 and 3 as well as 5...)

Woo woo.. The problem is that *you* are server number 975, and you haven't gotten
a copy of the intpeers.names file that lists you as a peer.  Contact the nice
folks at [log in to unmask] and tell them I said you need to be set up for
automatic updates of the names files. ;)
