The problem is that both computers return hostname = localhost, so that won't work. IP address is not always possible, as the network might not be up, especially on the laptop. How would I check the HWaddress (MAC)? As ifconfig returns a whole list of things: 1.How can I isolate just 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx in order to make a comparision? 2.How do I make this comparison in bash? I guess this value must be a string? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
