This causes trouble with Samba, which for some unknown reason requires to open a socket to 127.0.0.1, even though it is specifically configured not to use the lo0 device. There may be other software that has problems aswell. >How-To-Repeat: Install a fresh FreeBSD 5.2.1. >Fix: Configure the device manually, using "ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0" from the commandline, or adding this information to /etc/rc.conf. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
