There tend to be other effectively-unique IDs, such as MAC addresses; I'm not sure that locking down just this set helps much. (Aside: the P3 issue wasn't real. Anyone who had enough access to query the CPU serial number had enough access to find lots of other serial numbers, including the set that Thor would like.) It would help this part of the discussion, I think, if I understood better how the information would be used. What programs or daemons would query it? Would they run as root? --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
