Hi

I am using ASCII, migrated from Jessie, migrated from Debian (maybe but
I do not remember)...

Unitil I will migrate to Beowulf, I guess adopt this proposed solution:

1) symlink /etc/machine-id to /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

2) run boot: echo date +%s%N | md5sum | cut -c 1-32 > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

So please help me: what is the right way to run the previous command at
each boot?


Another point... I have:

$ hostid
007f0101

What the best to do about this? Keep this value? Change it to what else? ...

Thank you
Regards
