Good question ... not useless, but not sure how (and/or if) it would work ... the script creates a /var/db/bsdstats file that contains the KEY/TOKEN that is used to talk to the server, which is used on subsequent reports so that it doesn't get reported as a 'new host', but just updates the old data ... If its diskless, will each reboot end up reporting as a whole new host each time, or is there some way of saving that /var/db/bsdstats across reboots? - ---- Marc G.
