Hi Simon,

if you're using a recent networking.sh script, you need the folowing 
interface 
definition file:
 cat /etc/sysconfig/network/lo
# config file for eth1
# use dynamic or static for MODE=
# dynamic and static both require:
# MODULE= kernel module for eth1
# static requires the following in addition:
# IP= ip address of eth1 (if you have one, MODE=static)
# BROADCAST= broadcast address
# NETMASK= netmask address
# GATEWAY= gateway address
MODULE=
MODE=static
IP=127.0.0.1
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
GATEWAY=


So you can control loopbacks interfaces.

Bye,
Mat.
