I still like my idea the best for unique keys. It's a better way to
detect hosts behind NATs, here it is again, four versions to pick
from:

# ifconfig | sha256
cbcc2f55a340c248af7e8a10871150d827af11d7051bbc782eefa04b0603248b
# ifconfig | sha1
b607b9d45e6ad40c02ab20800e0d70245ab6db68
# ifconfig | md5
22a2a3eca61166fb113f1a688b3dd842
# ifconfig | cksum
3977021799 540

The only down side is it still can be faked, just like everything else.
