Linux doesn't have a hostid. Sun workstations have a hostid. It is a 32-bit number which is guaranteed to be unique on a Sun and is contained in a EPROM on the mainboard. Sun uses this number for various things (like using it to create a licensing key when a license is for a single-use, single-machine piece of software). -- Jens B.
