The commits made to the Linux kernel module beginning Nov 5, 2001
19:08:22 GMT have broken the Linux FLEX license manager. The output of
'lmutil lmhostid' should produce output as follows:
lmutil - Copyright (C) 1989-2000 Globetrotter Software, Inc.
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is "000102c921d5"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
However, with the new Linux module, the following is produced:
lmutil - Copyright (C) 1989-2000 Globetrotter Software, Inc.
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is ""
^^^^
Note the null host ID. This prevents any product that uses FLEXlm from
verifying its' license and thus keeps it from running.
