services: networking: Add netmask to loopback address.
Previously, we would get a fishy 127.0.0.1/0 interface: $ ip a show dev lo 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet 127.0.0.1/0 scope global lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever With this change, we get nothing but the "/8" version: $ ip a show dev lo 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope global lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Reported by Yann Dupont <Yann.Dupont@univ-nantes.fr>. * gnu/services/base.scm (assert-valid-address): Remove special cases for 127.0.0.1 and ::1. (%loopback-static-networking): Add "/8".
