Its a redhat/fedora artifact I believe, for what useage I have no idea. All I know is its there on every fedora machine since about FC3 or 4, my lappy FC5 has it, and it is not setup in any config file anyplace. And it is not part of any network or subnet at that site. I think we're losing track of the real problem by being distracted by the 169 address. We'd kill it if we knew how to do it.
