FreeBSD scali.eu.org 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb 23 20:45:55 GMT 2004     root at wv1u.btc.adaptec.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
After installing and booting FreeBSD, the lo0 device is not in an 'up'-state, and no IP is assigned to the device. This causes trouble with Samba, which for some unknown reason requires to open a socket to 127.0.0.1, even though it is specifically configured not to use the lo0 device. There may be other software that has problems aswell.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a fresh FreeBSD 5.2.1.
>Fix:
Configure the device manually, using "ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0" from the commandline, or adding this information to /etc/rc.conf.
