Is it possible to have an unique host ID ?
man hostid: NAME hostid - set or print system's host id. SYNTAX hostid [-v] [decimal-id] DESCRIPTION The hostid command prints the current host id number in hexadecimal and both decimal and hexadecimal in paren‐ thesis if the -v option is given. This numeric value is expected to be unique across all hosts and is nor‐ mally set to resemble the host's Internet address. ... You can apparently set the id to whatever you want by calling hostid at startup, but you must ensure that each host has a unique ID. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
