Howdy again pkg folks.

I have another related question:

The ICT in the installer also issues:

pkg set-property send-uuid True

I've noticed by default pkg sets the UUID on full images but "send-uuid = False

e.g.:
grep -i uuid /var/pkg/cfg_cache
uuid = f4c8a9d7-144e-11de-bb5d-00144f8dc846
send-uuid = False

What's the impact of send-uuid = False?

The only impact is that the publisher's selected repository (e.g. pkg.opensolaris.org/dev) will not receive a unique identifier for the client (we won't send one in the http headers), and so has no way to guaranteed identify a set of transactions as being for that same client.

Eventually, there is a plan to allow the depot to reject connections from clients that don't supply one per-administrator policy. This is intended for use by corporate clients, etc.

Cheers,

Shawn,

Thanks for the support!

Joe
