The problem is that both computers return hostname = localhost, so that won't work. IP address is not always possible, as the network might not be up, especially on the laptop.

How would I check the HWaddress (MAC)?

As ifconfig returns a whole list of things:

1.How can I isolate just 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx in order to make a comparision?

Just grep for it, you only need to verify that it is there, not isolate it.

2.How do I make this comparison in bash? I guess this value must be a string?

Use grep's return status instead of doing things the shell doesn't does as well.


if ! ifconfig eth0 | grep -q 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
 then
 echo 'wrong box'
 exit 1
fi

..rest of script..


You could also find this value in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
