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
