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 -
[root@unicorn]~#

networks are Ok, I belive.

[root@unicorn]~# ping -qc 1 127.0.0.0
PING 127.0.0.0 (127.0.0.0): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

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.
