Please DON'T do that ! It will break a lot of other stuff !
glibc 2.0.6 will only find the localhost interface, not the
real network interfaces. It is bad to send a message to a
server with 127.0.0.1 as from line, the server will nerver
send an answer back. In the moment we have here this problem
with glibc 2.0.x.

Could it be, that you have misconfigured your network devices ?

Or tell me a little bit more about your problems.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
