Ah, net.lo.

Anyways, also important is to be able to specify the netmask. We need an alias with 255.255.255.255 and not the default /24-netmask.

Sorry for the delay, but this bug just got onto my radar.

baselayout-1.12.0 will allow for customising the lo interface via conf.d/net in terms of adding addresses and routes.

At this point I'm unwilling to move the patch to 1.11.x

Looking for this fix as well. Any release time frame?

as Roy said, it's in baselayout-1.12.0+

Comment 6 Chris Smith 2005-07-12 15:47:07 UTC

I saw that. But was asking about the time frame went it might be released  
and unmasked. 
I guess it must be right around the corner now that the bug is marked resolved 
and fixed.
