The same way as other apps need it (sendmail, I think).
Why does sendmail/postfix need or need not 127.0.0.2?
I don't know. I only know that some people or somewhere I read that it was so. I'm not using that program since... who knows when, so I did not investigate. YaST creates an entry for that IP in hosts file if you tick a certain file in yast network module. If you do, postfix complains bitterly and verbosely in the log, even stops working. There is a bugzilla about this, requesting that yast don't create that entry. However, it appear that other apps do need that entry! I did ask in the postfix mail list why postfix broke with it and got an explanation. It is in the bugzilla, IIRC. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)
