127.0.0.2 has basically been done away with. It was used up through 11.4? but I think when IPv6 was integrated that (I don't even know what you actually call it) implementation was retired. I don't have any hard details there.
IPv6 was integrated/implemented quite a while before that - starting 2006, I was using an ipv6 tunnel - I don't know what that corresponds to in terms of SUSE/openSUSE releases, maybe 10.0 ?
I think(!) the /etc/hosts used to be "127.0.0.2 linux.site linux" (I see it mentioned in several places on the net)
I also see it mentioned way earlier, on the suse-linux-e lists in 2001, but unfortunately the archive is gone.
Huh? I see the archive there. Mine starts on 2003.
I found this link, somewhere:
https://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2001-Oct/2197.html
(gives error 404) Is it not the same as <https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2001-10/all.html> ? 127.0.0.2 is mentioned. it's about SuSEconfig adding the line when it was not wanted, and how to disable creation of the hosts file. I seem to recall that there was an specific setting that disabled the 127.0.0.2 one. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
