[TheMonarch]

Quick question. How do I find my Mac's Host ID? Preferably using terminal.

Thanks

I think this is what your referring to...

uname -n

Hmm. I think its Ethernet ID that I'm looking for.

So your looking for your MAC address for your Ethernet port?

You can find that with the command 'ifconfig'

or more specifically if you need it for a script or something and need the ethernet address only you could run something like this...

ifconfig | grep "en0:" -A 3 | grep ether -m 1 | awk '{print $2}'
