You are wrong, in fact, it's not *errors* but only *warnings*. Look the 3
first letters, it's WRN for warning and INF for information.
In fact, the message says that the variable is not found but these variables
are optional and you don't need them in normal case.

address@hidden:~/build/release/nelns/naming_service$ ./naming_service
INF 2840 service.cpp 363 : Starting Service 'NS' using NeL (Sep 28 2001
15:06:09)
WRN 2840 config_file.h 281 net2.nevrax.net/NS : Exception will be launched:
variable "Rec" not found in file "naming_service.cfg"
WRN 2840 config_file.h 281 net2.nevrax.net/NS : Exception will be launched:
variable "SId" not found in file "naming_service.cfg"
WRN 2840 config_file.h 281 net2.nevrax.net/NS : Exception will be launched:
variable "BasePort" not found in file "naming_service.cfg"
INF 2840 service.cpp 720 net2.nevrax.net/NS : Service ready

If you see the message "Service ready", it's ok, otherwise, find and try to
understand the ERR message :)

There s no need for config file for naming_service. But when a config file
is needing, we put it in the CVS at the same place where the sources are.
The config file must be in the same directory that the executable so copy it
if necessary. If you want an example, take a look on the time_service.cfg.
