I'm running sarge with 2.6.8-2-686 kernel on a new machine connected
to a hardware firewall (as eth1), shared with another machine (eth0).
# ifconfig
eth0
...
UP BROADCAST RUNNING ...
...
[no lo entry]
# /sbin/ifup lo
/sbin/ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
# ls -l /etc/network/interfaces
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 794 ...
My interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.2555.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
dns-nameserver 192.168.111.1
Postfix installation said to put a dns-nameserver line here, and I put
in the address of the firewall.
I have in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1
192.168.1.2
