- We are looking for a way to uniquely identify a Mac, probably one on a network,
- but not necessarily. Is the serial number or similar available somewhere in the
- ROMs or parameter RAM? (Highly unlikely, I know - specially since PRAM can be
- reset)
-
- We are considering assigning each mac a unique chooser name then disabling the
- Sharing Setup Control panel...this is the best solution so far.
-
- Any assistance would be wonderful.

- Regards,
- Mike.
