Hello Everyone, I have a question regarding the hostid of a machine running FreeBSD. Entering the following command at command line % sysctl kern.hostid gives me kern.hostid: 0 I noticed in a couple of emails sent by other people using FreeBSD (with the output of various system values including hostid) that their hostid's also said 0. Is this normal? On UNIX normally when I enter the command % hostid I get a 8 letter alphanumeric value like 23a4076b. My next question is do I need to change the hostid from 0 to any other value? If anyone has any suggestions in the regard please let me know. Thank you Vijai __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
