Hello everybody, Can someone explain what hostid actually indicates? On my linux box, hostid command gives a number. Now, I created a file /etc/hostid, and put a number there. now, hostid command gives a different number, but not the one I put in the file /etc/hostid. Can the hostid be changed arbitrarily. What is its use? I have got no ethernet card, but somewhere (I forgot where) I read that the hostid is somehow related to the ethernet card's hardware address.
