This is my take on UUID version 5 type with DNS name space: https://github.com/kwilczynski/facter-facts/blob/master/uuid.rb Very simple. Probably more or a start on tackling this problem ... Also, I have no idea whether this will work on big-endian architecture, since I do not have any PPC, MIPS etc to test on ... Hope this helps. KW ---------------------------------------- Bug #3762: Implement UUID fact https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3762 Author: Daniel Pope Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: Debian-based systems in particular (possibly others) ship with an /etc/hosts file that starts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 hostname.domain.tld hostname This is used to specify the FQDN of the machine independently of its physical IP address, and I believe their expectation is that you are not required to change this. However, this breaks the hostid command that is used to provide the uniqueid fact. I would expect the uniqueid fact to be unique on out-of-the-box Debian machines - perhaps munging Facter.ipaddress in the same way as the hostid command would. I also tested CentOS, but this does not use the same "hack", and it looks like you are expected to reconfigure /etc/hosts so that applications can find the hostname and FQDN. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
