Hi Venkat:

Could you give more explanations ? Any error message ? Any network errors ? Which OS ?

venkat,

When shutting down the server, the net scripts don't do a thing other than exit with a 0 return code, so I suspect the problem is elsewhere.

During system shutdown, the "unconfigure loopback interface (lo0)" is basically the execution of the following:

/sbin/init.d/net.init stop

This just sets a few variables and then runs:

exit 0

So, unless you have manually modified the script /sbin/init.d/net.init,
there is not much there that could cause problems.

Are there any related messages in /etc/rc.log.old ?
