SubjectNetwork unreachable for lo
                    Hello, All !


	Playing with rusers on new installed kernel 2.0.29 i experienced a
problem: try to access localhost's broadcast address fails with ENETUNREACH.
Actually, any addresses in 127.* except 127.0.0.1 have this error.

[root@unicorn]~# route -n|grep 127
127.0.0.1       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        3 lo
127.0.0.0       -               255.0.0.0       !     0      -       18 -

networks are Ok, I belive.

[root@unicorn]~# ping -qc 1 127.0.0.0

Is it a known bug and there is a patch ? Or I missed something to update ?

------
btw, checking 2.1.65 for this : loopback's broadcast is not responding at
all....
Bye.
