[reSIProcate] Running TFM on a Mac (OS/X 10.4)


tfm currently uses 127.0.0.2-127.0.0.10 as part of its tests and expects the loopback interface to move that traffic. Linux does this without tweaking. OS/ X does not.

It'll let you listen on those addresses without complaint, but it won't move traffic through the stack unless you tell the interface to do so. The best I've found so
far is to do something like:

for (( i=2 ; i<11; i++ )) ; do ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.$i alias ;done

(changing "alias" to "-alias" undoes this).

If anybody knows a better way to set this up, let me know.
