There is no way to do this, in the general case, except maybe by using the CPU ID, which doesn't exist on most CPUs and is disabled on most of the rest. You can take a look under /proc/* to see most of these values, though. You should also add the MAC address. > BIOS ID > HardDisk ID > Volume ID > Motherboard ID > CPU ID > > I'm using Linux Red Hat 9.0 > > This code should work on various hardware configurations. > > I already looked for it using Google, but I had no luck. A better question would be why do you need it. If it's for copy protection, forget about it - it's trivial to defeat, not to mention highly obnoxious.
