/etc/hosts :
::1 localhost.mydomain.tld localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.mydomain.tld localhost
/etc/defaults/rc.conf :
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
... but ifconfig always shows no inet:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
so we added to /etc/rc.conf :
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0"
... still not inet4 loopback if (so commented it out).
no errors in /var/log/messages,
dmesg -a shows no error,
... other than services failing to grab ports on 127.0.0.1
thanks
Len
