Should work.  You could also probably safely delete some services
you're not using.

I think that's pretty definitely broken, although I don't think it
caused this particular problem.  Do you have an interface configured
at 127.0.0.2?  I doubt it.  If not, comment out the 127.0.0.2 line and
you will probably find many broken things no longer broken :)
