A hostid is a 4-byte hex number. It appears that the last three bytes of a Sparc hostid match the last three bytes of the hardware Ethernet address. On my Sparc 5, the first byte of my hostid is 80x, which may or may not be related to the fact that the first two bytes of my Ethernet address are 8:0. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- David Lawver - speaking for me, not UW-Madison, DoIT, or anyone else dmlawver@facstaff.wisc.edu dlawver@doit.wisc.edu lawvd@world.std.com "Those who would do away with essential liberties for the sake of a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
