One Day One GNU/Linux Command
=============================
hostid - Print the numeric id for the host.
Summary:
It will print a 32-bit hexadecimal numerical identifier for the host
machine. Certain product registration procedures use this number to
brand a particular user license. The 32-bit quantity happens to be
closely related to the system's IP address, but that isn't always the
case.
If your IP address is 192.168.14.155 then your hostid is A8C09B0E.
A8 -- 168
C0 -- 192
9B -- 155
0E -- 14
Example:
$ hostid -- Print the hostid of the current host.
Read: man hostid
HTH :)
