Your problem may be in your choice of 60000 as the port, the web pages do
suggest you use the one in the range 1024 - 49151 and always check in
/etc/services that the port is not already in use. The port you have chosen is
in the range of dynamic ports that are left to be assigned dynamically by
TCP/UDP as needed for clients.

OK, you've found the one place in the document where I left out the "host"
argument, I'll fix it !

As a starter I think you should check in /etc/services for a port number that is
above 1023 but less than 49152 and see if you can get it working.
You should also check that /usr/local/bin/saceserver can be run by user "keith"
and that user "keith" has read/write/execute permissions for
/databases/cropnet_db/AGR
Other people _are_ using the socket server and have been doing so for some time.
