>Number: 14132 >Category: conf >Synopsis: must ifconfig loopback before dhcp-interface >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon Oct 4 14:50:00 PDT 1999 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Matt Crawford >Release: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 >Organization: Fermilab >Environment: Installing 3.3-RELEASE on brand-new *clean* system, selected "DHCP client". >Description: After the installation and first reboot, the network interfaces were listed in rc.conf in the order "ed1 lo0". dhclient script tried to "route add $myaddr 127.1" when lo0 was not configured, so the resulting route pointed to ed1. System was unable to ping itself. >How-To-Repeat: Do a clean install on a DHCP client. *Maybe* it depends on the name of the network interface, but I doubt it. >Fix: Generate the new rc.conf with lo0 first in the list of network_interfaces. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
