Instead, only 127.0.0.1/32 is being routed to the loopback interface. Pinging, for example, 127.2.3.4 returns no response - in my case it tries to route via the default route out onto the net! >How-To-Repeat: route -n get 127.2.3.4 >Fix: Not sure - thought it'd be a simple update to the rc scripts, but I couldn't find anything relevant in them :). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
