Sorry for my poor english ...
fw-1 is a module that sits beetwen the IP layer & the interface (Well. I
think it perform like this. Mayne I'm totally wrong here)
So even if I can ping 127.0.0.1, Maybe it blocks acces to lo for some
other programs.
As the firewall as been installed by a 3rd party - And not very well
installed, because there are LOTS of daemons still there - I can't say...
