Subject: loopback interface (can't play xpilot)

Hello,

I have some problem with the xpilot game. After some debugging it comes out
that "the loopback interface is not running". In fact, ifconfig reports:

   lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST>

I tested it under other Unices, and works fine. For example under Linux,
ifconfig says:

   lo: <UP, BROADCAST, LOOPBACK, RUNNING>

After reading the man pages about inet, route, ifconfig and their relatives,
I can not figure out any solution. Does anyone have a hint?

Thanks, 

Luis
