Hello, I have a commercial app that requires Flexlm. When I ran the hostid command to get the host id it returned a8c02201, I reported this id to the vendor and they generated me a license key. The application started up and ran fine. After a few days I rebooted and the application failed to start. After digging thru log files I found that flexlm was griping about a hostid mismatch. So I ran the hostid command and I got: a8c02203 What the ????? I have rebooted several times and I keep getting the latter results (a8c02203). The only thing I added to the system between the problem was VMWare. I have removed the vm kernel modules and I get the same results (a8c02203). How does Linux determine its hostid? Does it use the MAC address? I've tried writing a small program to change it using the sethostid() call, but linux keeps erroring out. Anyone have any suggestions? Answers as to why? I have a RedHat 6.1 box on a Dell Inspiron 7000 Laptop, 196 MB RAM. With a 3Com 3CCFEM556B PCMCIA Ethernet Card.
