[Fusioninventory-devel] Gathering hostid on Linux

[Walid Nouh]

Hello FusionInventory developers,

I've been asked for gathering the result of the HostID on Linux.
For the moment this information is gathered on Solaris, and put in the OS Comment, and on Linux.
By discussing this point with David and Gonéri, it seems that the hostid is not a very useful information, as it may not be unique and thus cannot be used as a criterias for unicity rules.

I was wondering either this information needs to be dropped from the Solaris code or generalized on all unices. What do you think about it ?
Would it be interested to have this information in a specific key of the XML inventory so it could be displayed in FI4GLPI ?

Regards,
