Description Enrico Scholz 2001-07-23 16:28:06 EDT

Description of Problem:

When shutting down the lo-interface I get an error-msg:

$ sh -x /sbin/ifdown lo
...
+ ip addr del 127.0.0.1/ brd 127.255.255.255 dev lo
Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "127.0.0.1/"
+ ip link set lo down

The ifdown-scripts expects a $PREFIX variable which is not set at the
lo-interface.
