Is there a way a script can determine which computer it is running on and

man hostid

On my Fedora 9...

$ hostid
00000000

Now I haven't bothered to check any other machines, but my initial
impression is that this is not going to work...


I just checked the hostids on my 2 primary machines on the same local network. They just seem to be encodings of the machine's IP addresses. And since both are PC class machines, the addresses look to be syllable swapped (but not byte swapped).

192.168.6.94 and 192.168.6.106
a8c05e06     and a8c06a06

So, I have to ask, does the machine you tried it on have an IP address?
