In long; Both servers have the same (and only) entry: /etc/defaults/rc.conf: ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" no more, no less. The RELENG_6 server reports: lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 The 7-RC3 did not (I'd provide the output, but I've since added and activated an entry in /etc/rc.conf that provides a /24 on lo0). Since I'm only /really/ interested in SWIP'ing 3 IP's out of the the block 254 will be more than enough. I don't know what to say. It's (as you've no doubt already discovered) driving me nuts! Anyhow, thanks again for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it. --Chris H > > > Tom > -- panic: kernel trap (ignored)
