From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u) Description of problem: running hostid command on different stations ; got the same result = 7f0100 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run hostid on each station 2. 3. Actual Results: 7f0100 Expected Results: an unique identifier for each station Additional info:
The hostid program just calls the gethostid() function from the C library.
If /etc/hostid doesn't exist (where you can set hostid to anything you want), gethostid returns IP address of your hostname. So it depends on how have you configured your networking. 7f0100 means your hostname's IP address is on lo interface, just don't do that.
