I believe you got that the wrong way around. I quote from the Changes
accompanying the kernel source:
: Network errors with recent kernels
: ==================================
:
: Many default network scripts are set up to add a route to the
: localhost at 127.0.0.1 at startup. However, they do this incorrectly.
: To fix the error, which is now spotted by the kernel (causing many
: daemons to quit working), look for a line like `route add -net
: 127.0.0.1' in your network configuration files and change it to `route
: add -net 127.0.0.0'.
:
: This error is present in all Red Hat distributions through Red Hat
: 3.03 (and derivative distributions like Caldera). If you're running
: one of these, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-lo, changing
the
: line `route add -net $(IPADDR)' to `route add -net 127.0.0.0' and you
: should be fine.
