cna't ssh localhost

[Eugene M. Minkovskii]

Hi, I'm in trubble now, and don't know what to think about...

I'm install FreeBDS 5.3. stable from DVD iso. This is fresh
system: I'm not recompile the kernel and working with GENERIC
kernel. This means that I don't use any firewall and ip filter.

Now, I configure net interface in  /etc/rc.conf:

<...>
ifconfig_rl0="inet 172.16.0.2  netmask 255.255.255.252"
defaultrouter="172.16.0.1"
<...>

then I type following

$ ssh 127.0.0.1

But connection hang up, of course, I can't do ssh from gateway
(172.16.0.1) to localhost (172.16.0.2) too.

########
# BUT! #
########

If I comment line with defaultrouter in rc.conf:

<...>
ifconfig_rl0="inet 172.16.0.2  netmask 255.255.255.252"
#defaultrouter="172.16.0.1"
<...>

and reboot, connecion working good: ssh 127.0.0.1 work, and ssh
from gateway to local mashine work good.

If I, after that type manually

$ sudo route add 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.1

connection to loop interface hangs again.

Have you any ideas?
