Re: [opensuse] Why does yast use 127.0.0.2 for localhost?

127.0.0.0/8 is assigned to 'lo', which is why you can ping it. In order for postfix to use 127.0.0.2 though, I'm sure 'lo' needs 127.0.0.2 added as a secondary address.

The problem is that localhost did not appear in hosts, and postfix starts kicking errors for some obscure reason. lo gets assigned 127.0.0.1 regardless of the existence of a line in hosts. That you can use anything in 127.0.0.0/8 to ping your own machine doesn't seem germane to the issue here. Its something odd in postfix. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
