Re: Site unique MAC secret

[Bill Jones]

It is interesting to note that according to 'sysdef' -
the HostID is not quite the same as the ether MAC.

ifconfig -a says:

> ether 8:0:20:a7:fc:f5

sysdef says
> HostID
80a7fcf5

Also, on a Sun Ultrasparc, hostid is system dependant and R/O;
on an x86, the changes are emulated via an eeprom -i switch call.
