HI there, All the modules appears to only allow a single IP (127.0.0.1) on the loopback interface Yes, I agree that it's the "norm", however, just as the "norm" is a single IP on eth0/eth1/etc., there are situations that makes the need for adding extra IPs to the loopback interface usefull and needed. Ie. development of websites where I can bind the IP to the lo interface while I'm coding under the trees etc. and the eth0 and wlan0 interfaces are all down. This would mean that the lo interface is handled much the same way as the normal interfaces in getting configuration information from /etc/conf.d/net. Yes I'll agree that checking for the non-existance of _lo config information would mean that the "Defaults" are accepted, are at least the defaults are done in any case. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. vi /etc/conf.d/net 2. add extra IPs for lo interface just like for eth0 interface 3. /etc/init.d/net.lo restart 4. ip addr Actual Results: extra IPs not added :( Expected Results: extra IPs from /etc/conf.d/net added just like for eth0 Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.13-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r4 x86_64 Mobile AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/gentoo ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://10.11.12.3/portage/" USE="amd64 X a52 aac aalib acpi adns aim alsa amr apm applet arts artswrappersuid auctex audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bonobo browserplugin bundled-libs buttons bzip2 cap cardbus cdda cddb cdio cdparanoia cdr crypt cscope css cups curl dbus dbx dga dio divx4linux dmx dnd dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss emul-linux-x86 encode esd exif expat fam ffmpeg flac font-server foomaticdb fortran fping freetype ftp gd gdbm gif glut gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml high-ints httpd idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde lcms libwww lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff mhash mmap mng mozdevelop mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ntfs ofx ogg oggvorbis on-the-fly-crypt opengl openssl pam pam_chroot pam_console pcre pdf pdflib perl php png postgres print python qt quicktime rar rdesktop readline real reiserfs rrdtool samba sdl sensord session shorten skey sms sockets sox spell sse-filters ssl staticsocket stroke subp subtitles svg symlink sysfs tcpd tetex theora threads tiff toolbar transcode transparent-proxy truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts udev usb userlocales vcd vcdimager vorbis wma123 wmf x11vnc xemacs xface xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xosd xpm xprint xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
You can do this with the entire baselayout-1.12 series in unstable.
