The first is to ensure that the file /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is not distributed in future RPM packages. But you also need to fix existing systems, and to do that I suggest that the following code is included in /etc/init.d/dbus: DBUS_MACHINE_ID_DIR="/var/lib/dbus" DBUS_MACHINE_ID=$DBUS_MACHINE_ID_DIR/machine-id DBUS_UUIIDGEN_BIN=/bin/dbus-uuidgen host=$(hostname --fqdn) if [[ -d $DBUS_MACHINE_ID_DIR && ! ( -e $DBUS_MACHINE_ID.$host ) ]] then dbus-uuidgen --ensure=$DBUS_MACHINE_ID.$host cp -p $DBUS_MACHINE_ID.$host $DBUS_MACHINE_ID fi What this code does is to ensure that whenever dbus is first run on a machine (identified by FQDN) then a new uuid is generated and saved in a specially named file to record the fact. Once this file exists the uuid can be assumed to be unique. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
