Bug #3926: Rename uniqueid hostid
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3926#change-57078

Author: Greg Maples
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: library
Target version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


basing it on hostid is not nearly unique enough especially in a xen environment 
with duplicated machines and multiple instances of IPs and MACs.  I'd suggest 
something like serial number from BIOS (works for dell, hp, ibm, etc - 
significant portion of all x86 machines) modified by the system time when 
facter was initially installed.
