Thats what I did, but the SG has included interfaces that are connected to
the backbone. That was no asked for explictly nor implicitly through a
"make sure you have full connectivity" type of statement .

I have no confusion about how to get loopback to advertise a 24 bit mask
without an ip ospf network statment on the interface.
