Im getting wierd errors when trying to ping my localhost or 127.0.0.1 ...
i get :

# ping localhost
ping: sendto :  Can't assign requested address

also its worth mentioning that im getting errors like the above when
sending mail to a local user on the box.

im getting:
Oct 27 09:38:11 blah sendmail[86305]: h9REcBK0086305: to=mrb,
ctladdr=bbailey (1002/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay,
pri=30487, relay=localhost.whatever.net. [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0,
stat=Deferred: Can't assign requested address

if anyone can point in the right direction that would be great :-)
any and all help is very appreciated
