Bug #3926: uniqueid not unique enough
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3926

Author: Greg Maples
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: library
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: 
Branch: 


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.
