Also sprach Pawel Krawczyk: } Has anyone thought of adding a feature of disabling the infamous } Intel Pentium III processor serial number, which any application } can get using CPUID instruction? According to CPUID specs [1], } the PSN can be disabled (part 3.3, disabling PSN) with a single } CPUID call, until next reboot. This could be configured with } /proc/sys/kernel entry, writing 1 would disable the PSN. Any } subsequent calls would be ignored. } } [1] http://www.intel.com/design/pentiumiii/applnots/245125.htm } Sounds like a grand idea to me.
