>> Every unix workstation has a unix host ID<< Are you speaking of a software (virtual) ID assigned by the OS to the machines' OS file set in UNIX? Or is this fixed against something like the globally unique 48-bit NIC ID? How is this handled in LINUX, does it provide the same kind of management structure? I know that LAN management packages have methods of collecting workstation NIC ID's for purposes of inventory and support troubleshooting.... but Intel's CPU ID's gets to the heart of things, doesn't it?
