I checked thiswith strace. Putting a /var/adm/hostid file in place will change/alteryour current default hostid (/etc/hostid is ignored)!Would be interesting how Linux assigns the hostid if you have more thanone NIC installed (which one sets the hostid - eth0 or eth1) ?Currently i can't verify this on a higher kernel release, but i'll letyou know next week, when i've access to my other RH 7.1/7.2 systems.regardsThomas
