ipconfig waitall > /dev/null 2>&1
ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up


This comes after ipconfig waitall... making me wonder...

##
# See if the network is up now
##
CheckForNetwork

# Set HOSTNAME if needed
if [ "${HOSTNAME:=-AUTOMATIC-}" = "-AUTOMATIC-" ]; then
HOSTNAME=$(ipconfig getoption "" host_name)
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
hostname "${HOSTNAME}"
fi
fi

I suspect that ipconfig would have to get host_name from netinfo.

Its seems clear that netstat -r relies on lookupd...

Which would tend to support the notion that ifconfig might as well.
(through syscall splicing).

The only time I am fairly positive this could never happen is in single user
mode.

Thx,
