Once upon a time, Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxx> said: > Possibly. That still doesn't help us in our quest for unique system identifiers > however. If we simply don't have enough entropy then we may need to mix in > system specific bits but properly one way hashed (eg disc serial numbers) I would think a good list of things to include would be: - lspci -v will not only list the PCI cards but includes which slot they are in - lsusb -v (although I don't think usbutils is installed by default) includes things like firmware version for some devices and again using a different port will give different results - dmidecode sometimes includes serial numbers, also can vary based on which slot things are in - ifconfig -a includes MAC addresses - smartctl -a [each hard drive] depending on drive, includes serial number, temperature, power-on time and count, random variables only the drive make understands There is enough system-specific stuff in those to get pretty random (once hashed). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
