On my one machien that isn't ~arch, net.eth0 isn't a link to net.lo and net.lo wouldn't work, so your erring on the side of caution was a good move. I guess the more complete solution is to use net.eth0 if you are on a stable system and net.lo if you are running ~arch. Nick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
