Hi,

Thanks for all of your hard work on this superior product! I have made an emergency restore disk with Clonezilla and the image files on a single USB and it works perfectly. I would like to restrict it to only work with one computer and I was thinking of doing this by MAC address. So if it is booted in the wrong computer, the process would just die. Any insight on how I might accomplish this?

Cheers!

I figured it out. Just wrote a shell script to check the MAC on eth0 and halt if it did not match and ran it ocs_prerun. Works like a charm!
