HOSTID(1N)              COMMAND REFERENCE              HOSTID(1N)



NAME
     hostid - set or print identifier of current host system

SYNOPSIS
     hostid [ Internet Address ]

DESCRIPTION
     The hostid command prints the identifier of the current host
     as an internet address.

     The command netconfig(8N) ensures that hostid is set
     correctly whenever the workstation is rebooted; the hostid
     is saved in the network.conf(5N) file.

     Only the superuser can set the hostid.  The input format is
     the standard internet address format; see netconfig(8N).
     The hostid can be set to the internet address of any of the
     interfaces (typically there is only one interface, so there
     is no choice).

FILES
     /etc/network.conf
                  File that remembers network configuration upon
                  rebooting.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

                    address.
