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) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
