Hi, cookers. Well, I also fell on that problem of login rejected after some update. I found the reason: system has no 'lo' net interface configured. That was after update to net-tools 1.58. If I dowgrade to 1.57, everything works again (all of this with latest initscripts). I have tracked the problem to the end of /sbin/ifup. The behaviour of ipcalc seems to change from 1.57 to 1.58. My /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo DEVICE=lo IPADDR=127.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 NETWORK=127.0.0.0 # If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian, # you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example) BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes NAME=loopback -- J.A.
