Can hostid be faked?

[Scott Weitzenkamp]

Hmm...I tried to post this query about a month ago, but it looks like it
went into the bit bucket, so I'll try again.

Can the hostid returned by gethostid(2) be faked under SunOS?  I could
obviously write my own gethostid function and link it in with any new
programs, but what about trying to fool a statically linked a.out that
calls gethostid(2)?  I have implemented a floating license server ala
Frame, and I would like to make sure that I'm not wasting my time by using
the hostid.

Thanks in advance...
