Hi there, I see that there is a concern that we need to keep machine-id private (and local?). I haven't been able to determine exactly why though*. In most cases it's randomly generated afaict.
I'd consider using it to replace whoopsie-id which is generated from the machines BIOS information now to track bugs reported from the same machine in the Ubuntu error tracker[1]. It would need to stay constant for that install and be easy to get locally via file collection which is why I think I'd prefer using the straight machine-id to the just added app helper function[2]. Kind regards, Bryan [1] https://errors.ubuntu.com/ [2] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4667 * My best theory is it might show randomness bugs near the time of ssh key generation, but then you have bigger problems. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
