can't ping localhost
I first noticed the problem when the machine stopped sending local mail; a typical entry: Aug 19 10:08:30 online sm-msp-queue[68533]: o7IKAhth008649: to=timot...@xxx.njit.edu, ctladdr=timothyk (1001/1001), delay=17:57:47, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=3360050, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Can't assign requested address Non-local mail still works: Aug 19 10:14:11 online sm-mta[68582]: o7JEEB8I068582: from=kell...@njit.edu, size=593, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=4c6d3c2e.1060...@njit.edu, proto=ESMTP, daemon=IPv4, relay=mail-xxx.njit.edu [128.235.251.157] Aug 19 10:14:11 online sm-mta[68584]: o7JEEB8I068582: to=timot...@xxx.njit.edu, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30840, relay=local, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent When I ping localhost: # ping localhost PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address # uname -a FreeBSD xxx.njit.edu 7.3-STABLE FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE #0: Tue Mar 30 14:35:56 EDT 2010 timot...@xxx.njit.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MARCH31 i386 /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.conf, /etc/resolv.conf all look fine.

I'm thinking that if this is a hardware problem, once it goes down for a reboot, it may not come back up. I'm eagerly open to suggestions.

Why exactly are you running -current? People that do are supposed to do some investigations themselves, and if they still can't find the cause at least provide information like (in this case) routing info, ifconfig etc and what they have done to investigate, Well, the ping issue is just an example. My real problem is that sendmail can't send anything locally: The real problem is the routing got busted by a bad commit. This affects both ping and sendmail (and many others).

Perhaps you have a network_interfaces entry listed in /etc/rc.conf which does not mention lo0...? Thanks for even bothering to reply Chuck. Honestly, at my age, I should know better than to post to mailing lists while too tired to be coherent. The actual point of my question was, how exactly does a system come to boot up without having lo0 configured as 127.0.0.1? I do have a network interfaces line in rc.conf that specifies nve0, but that's the way it's always been on this box, and this is only a recent development that it's not been assigned correctly at boot time. I was looking into several other issues I've been seeing (not getting emails from this box for periodic tasks, etc) and finally ran it down to this. Did something change recently? My last update was sept 2nd, and this stopped working for me only about a week ago, maybe two, so it didn't coincide with that update. Now that I've got a little more mental capacity to work with, anyone got something to point me in the right direction? Is it a good idea to configure lo0 in rc.conf even though it should happen automatically? Thanks again. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
