Issue #15791 has been updated by Peter Meier. Priority changed from Normal to High
In my opinion this should be a high priority issue, as people definitely do not expect that all future Kernel.rand calls are deterministic after using fqdn_rand. ---------------------------------------- Bug #15791: a single call to fqdn_rand cause future random data to be deterministic https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15791#change-79481 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Category: Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: The fqdn_rand function sets a random seed based on the hostname of the current node in order to get a consistant random number between compiles. Unfortunately it does not reset the seed which means all further calls to rand() will also become deterministic between runs.
