Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 10:38:08 +0200 From: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> Hi! /var/adm does not exist in FHS for quite some time, yet sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gethostid.c still references (/var/adm/hostid), which means gethostid and sethostid don't work for quite some time. Any ideas on what's the best path to replace it with? >From quick skimming of FHS 2.1 it looks like /var/lib/hostid or /var/lib/misc/hostid could be ok... We use /etc/hostid on the Hurd, which makes sense to me since in the absence of a *real* hardware serial number (which we probably don't really want) it basically becomes a system configuration thingy.
