I uploaded strace-d result from executing hostid....

hostid is stored in /etc/hostid - 4 bytes (but this file exists if you previously changed your hostid) or if you didn't - see in attached file...

mac-adress

just run 'ifconfig' and watch the field after 'HWaddr'

e.g.

ifconfig |grep HWaddr
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:04:40:75:BE
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:40:25:74:5A
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:AF:39:FB:3C
