Hi
I notice this in my kernel logs:
Sep 18 18:13:24 dove /kernel: ipfw: 200 Deny UDP 1.2.3.4:138
127.255.255.255:138 out via ppp0
so i decided to look at the lo0 interface and the routes.
now lo0 is configured like this:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
notice the netmask.
the route looks like this:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 4629 lo0
shouldn't the route be for 127.0.0.0/8 because of the netmask?
I've added the route for 127/8 manually so samba can talk to itself via
lo0 but is this a bug in ifconfig or is it normal behavior?
thanks
keith
p.s. please cc replies to me
