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. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
