We recently ordered a Sun 4/330 to serve as a workgroup server. One of the 3rd-party software packages which we intend to use on that host comes keyed to a particular hostid. You tell them a hostid, they send you a tape with the software to run on that host. OK, no problem...as long as you already have the host in-house when you go to order the software. Since that wasn't the case here, I tried to get Sun to tell me the hostid of the 4/330 which we would be receiving. I thought it should be a fairly simple request, but apparently not so. I was told that Sun had no established means by which to fulfill such a request. Has anyone else had experience trying to get this type of information from Sun? Was it possible? How? To whom did you have to talk? Thanks for any replies. David W. Minnich INTERNET: dwm@fibercom.com FiberCom, Inc. UUCP: ...!uunet!fibercom!dwm P.O.
