I have my /etc/hosts set up like this and ppp set to use defaultroute.
When I ping localhost it initially sends a few packets over PPP and
then uses the internal loopback (?) interface.  When I ping stevec (my
hostname) and PPP is up it sends all the ping packets over the modem and
back again.

I don't think I had this problem before when I ran routed
but routed core dumps now when pppd starts and gives the errors:

Mar 12 23:41:23 stevec routed[431]: lo0 has no address
Mar 12 23:41:23 stevec routed[431]: ifinit: out of sync

Also when inetd first starts I get:
Mar 12 14:43:36 stevec inetd[98]: pmap_set: 100001 1 17 1034: Address already in use

I've been having these problems now for a couple months and have tried different
kernels and snapshots.  Has anyone else seen these errors or is it just my 
(mis)configuration?
