All my 4.3 and 4.4 boxen have problems with the only lookback address
being valid is 127.0.0.1 instead of the entire /8.
My ifconfig looks like:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
(note that this is the correct netmask)
but when i try this:
% ping 127.0.0.2
PING 127.0.0.2 (127.0.0.2): 56 data bytes
^C
--- 127.0.0.2 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
it does not work like it should.
(and i don't have any ipf filter rules on lo0 or anything of that nature)
