Red Hat Linux Serial Number using non-root user

Hi All,

Is there any way to find out the Serial Numbers in Red Hat Linux machines with a non-root user?

I know we can find using the dmidecode command, but it needs root privilege. I want to access this information using a non-root user.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Smilie

Many thanks,
VineetD

Unfortunately no. Actually let me be more specific with what I want.

Is there a way to get the VMware uuid.bios or uuid.location value using any command or by accessing any file on the Linux guest machine which is a Red Hat Linux?

Regards,
VineetD
