I did some more digging and found that I am having a problem with the
loopback interface: here is some more info

ifconfig
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255

        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3

 cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.foo.bar localhost amd64 localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.175 amd64.foo.bar amd64 amd64.foo.bar.


when I try ping I get:

]# ping localhost
PING localhost.foo.bar (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address

what does this mean and how do you fix it?

Subject: cups problem

I recently upgraded from 5.3 to 5.4 release, and I just noticed CUPS is
not working properly.  It is running as a proess:

 ps -aux|grep cups
root   410  0.0  0.6  4792  3216  ??  Ss    5:18PM   0:00.01
/usr/local/sbin/cupsd

but when I try to login thru the web interface I get a dialog box saying
"connection refused" when attempting to contact localhost:631.

The manual is not helpful regarding this problem.  I have stopped the
daemon, and deinstalled/reinstalled the software but it has not fixed the
problem.  How do I go about diagnosing/fixing the problem?  Any help is
appreciated.

TIA,

Andy
