Maybe because I have purged all exim, at and other server related stuff
(+ its dependencies) after my Debian installation as usual ;? But I
never stumbled upon any problem until now ... ;) And I can ping either
127.0.0.1 or localhost without any problem (I am trying to find out,
what I should/could change via
http://tldp.org/LDP/nag2/x-087-2-iface.interface.html ... ;) ).
Have a nice evening
Thomas.
