Thanks for that. It was the /etc/hosts file. The others all had the correct hostname, but /etc/hosts had it as 127.0.0.1 (along with localhost) Edited /etc/hosts and problem solved...no more identical triplets ! ;-) Something must have changed in the way the hosts file is generated at install time, because I don't recall ever having to do that before, but OTOH, maybe that just means my memory is shot ;-) Thanks again, Andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Mather [mailto:mathera@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 4:40 PM > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: hostid gives identical values on all FC machines > > Hi list, > > I've got to install a piece of software which uses the value returned > by 'hostid' to generate a license key.
