Hi all,

Is there any API to collect some unique IDs (such as CPU id, harddisk id,
SKU, etc) from the system w/o running the final software as root?

I've looked into dmidecode.c but it is unable to read /dev/mem without the
root account. Going further, demicode cannot be run even if the user is
added to the kmem group. Is there anyway to get past this? I am using
Ubuntu 7.10

Thanks and best rgds,
Alex
