Even if changing the UUID is not possible, I can still just set a
fixed address in my PC, then I have a new IP, would that not work?<br>

AFAIK all LInux distros, and PXE, send no UID with their

I noticed in a packet dump, on boot pxe, that in the request for a
DHCP, UUID is sended. But, its true, in a dhcp request when system
was loaded they aren't send UUID.

Actually, changing the UID would be even easier than changing
the MAC
<br>
address. If the user can change the MAC address, and that's a
problem,
<br>
then you mights as well pack up and go home ! It's the nearest
thing we
<br>
have to a unique and unchanging identifier - and as you've
observed,
<br>
it's not exactly hard to change.

I think changing UUID is not possible, because its integrated to
the BIOS, and my end users does not have access to the BIOS, and I
think its not possible to a distro to edit the BIOS..
