A way could be the following: write a kernel module that contains a secret
key K and implements md5; this modules attaches itself to a device that
will return, when read or ioctled, the result of md5(getuid(),K). All you
need is to maintain the binary secret (that means chmod 600 on the .o);
the sources may be distributed freely. You may insert it anytime, with
kerneld for instance.
The /dev/random linux code uses md5, so you will easily find some code to
copy.
I see no way to do it without some secret key. After all, if there was no
secret, a user could reproduce the system on his own home-linux-PC.
