!!! Overview
The [{$pagename}] is a boolean parameter in the [Nds.conf] file, and enabled by default. 

In a few recent Linux distributions, the hostname  in /etc/hosts file is associated with the loopback address. Though the common address given in the SLES systems is 127.0.0.2, it can be anything from 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 (valid  loopback  addresses).

Normally, [EDirectory] identifies the correct loopback address that the server should listen on, and then accepts NCP connections on that address. 

If the port parameter is specified (n4u.server.tcp-port), it uses  this port to listen on the loopback address. 

To disable listening on the loopback address, add this parameter to the [Nds.conf] file and set its value to 0. 
{{{n4u.server.listen-on-loopback=0
}}}
To support multiple eDirectory instances on the  same  box, disable listening on the loopback address as multiple instances cannot listen on the same loopback address.
