Klaus,

I was browsing through old todo notes and found one on how I should
identify a computer no matter if it was reinstalled or got a new name.

Using system_profiler you get a Serial Number entry.

What I haven't been able to find out is how does system_profiler find
that? As far as I can see, there is no sysctl entry for this...

Anyone know how to get this info?


Why do you want this information ?

I know this is answering a question with a question but experience shows that knowing this will help concentrate the inevitable ensuing discussion.

Douglas
