136 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137 \&\fBopenpkg uuid\fR [\fB\-\-verbose\fR] [\fB\-\-multicast\fR] \fBreset\fR|\fBupdate\fR|\fBinfo\fR
138 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
139 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
140 The \fBopenpkg uuid\fR command is the maintenance utility for the \s-1DCE\s0 1.1
141 and \s-1ISO/IEC\s0 11578:1996 compliant \fIUniversally Unique Identifiers\fR
142 (\s-1UUID\s0) of an \fBOpenPKG\fR instance. It is internally based on \fB\s-1OSSP\s0
143 uuid\fR.
144 .PP
145 UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood
146 of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult
147 to guess. They are globally unique identifiers which can be locally
148 generated without contacting a global registration authority. UUIDs are
149 intended as unique identifiers for both mass tagging objects with an
150 extremely short lifetime and to reliably identifying very persistent
151 objects across a network. The three classical \s-1UUID\s0 variants are \s-1DCE\s0 1.1
152 UUIDs of version 1 (time and node based), version 3 (name based) and
153 version 4 (random number based).
154 .PP
155 For an \fBOpenPKG\fR instance, three different UUIDs are used:
156 .ie n .IP "1. \fBOpenPKG Registry\fR (\*(C`UUID_REGISTRY\*(C')" 3
157 .el .IP "1. \fBOpenPKG Registry\fR (\f(CW\*(C`UUID_REGISTRY\*(C'\fR)" 3
158 .IX Item "1. OpenPKG Registry (UUID_REGISTRY)"
159 This is a version 1 \s-1UUID\s0 which uniquely identifiers the \fBOpenPKG\fR
160 instance for global registration purposes. It is generated just once in
161 the lifetime of the \fBOpenPKG\fR instance. The value of this \s-1UUID\s0 cannot
162 be recalculated deterministically.
163 .ie n .IP "2. \fBOpenPKG Instance\fR (\*(C`UUID_INSTANCE\*(C')" 3
164 .el .IP "2. \fBOpenPKG Instance\fR (\f(CW\*(C`UUID_INSTANCE\*(C'\fR)" 3
165 .IX Item "2. OpenPKG Instance (UUID_INSTANCE)"
166 This is a version 3 \s-1UUID\s0 which summarizes the \fBOpenPKG\fR
167 instance parameters. Currently the values of the following
168 particular OpenPKG \s-1RPM\s0 macros are uses as input:
169 .Sp
170 .Vb 5
171 \& %{l_openpkg_release} %{l_prefix}
172 \& %{l_susr} %{l_suid} %{l_sgrp} %{l_sgid}
173 \& %{l_musr} %{l_muid} %{l_mgrp} %{l_mgid}
174 \& %{l_rusr} %{l_ruid} %{l_rgrp} %{l_rgid}
175 \& %{l_nusr} %{l_nuid} %{l_ngrp} %{l_ngid}
176 .Ve
177 .Sp
178 The value of this \s-1UUID\s0 can be recalculated deterministically and will
179 not chance as long as none of the values of the above macro do not
180 change. This \s-1UUID\s0 can be used for detecting OpenPKG release upgrades,
181 accidentally changed UIDs or GIDs, etc. Notice that version 3 UUIDs are
182 message digests (actually \s-1MD5\s0 based) and so are one-way functions which do
183 not allow one to recalculate the input values from the \s-1UUID\s0.
184 .ie n .IP "3. \fBOpenPKG Platform\fR (\*(C`UUID_PLATFORM\*(C')" 3
185 .el .IP "3. \fBOpenPKG Platform\fR (\f(CW\*(C`UUID_PLATFORM\*(C'\fR)" 3
186 .IX Item "3. OpenPKG Platform (UUID_PLATFORM)"
187 This is a version 3 \s-1UUID\s0 which summarizes the \fBOpenPKG\fR platform
188 parameters. Currently the OpenPKG \s-1RPM\s0 platform id plus the \s-1FQDN\s0 and \s-1IP\s0
189 address of the underlying host are used as input. This \s-1UUID\s0 can be used
190 for detecting operating system and host changes. Notice that version
191 3 UUIDs are message digests (actually \s-1MD5\s0 based) and so are one-way
192 functions which do not allow one to recalculate the input values from
193 the \s-1UUID\s0.

203 \&\s-1UUID\s0 \f(CW\*(C`UUID_REGISTRY\*(C'\fR.
204 .SH "COMMANDS"

206 .IP "\fBreset\fR" 4
207 .IX Item "reset"
208 This resets the three UUIDs \f(CW\*(C`UUID_REGISTRY\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`UUID_INSTANCE\*(C'\fR and
209 \&\f(CW\*(C`UUID_PLATFORM\*(C'\fR to the \*(L"Nil \s-1UUID\s0\*(R". They are then automatically
210 regenerated within one day if already done explicitly afterward with
211 "\f(CW\*(C`openpkg uuid update\*(C'\fR".
212 .IP "\fBupdate\fR" 4
213 .IX Item "update"
214 This updates the three UUIDs \f(CW\*(C`UUID_REGISTRY\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`UUID_INSTANCE\*(C'\fR and
215 \&\f(CW\*(C`UUID_PLATFORM\*(C'\fR to the \*(L"Nil \s-1UUID\s0\*(R". \f(CW\*(C`UUID_REGISTRY\*(C'\fR is kept unless it
216 is the \*(L"Nil \s-1UUID\s0\*(R" (see "\f(CW\*(C`openpkg uuid reset\*(C'\fR" command above). The UUIDs
217 \&\f(CW\*(C`UUID_INSTANCE\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`UUID_PLATFORM\*(C'\fR are updated only if their input
218 values (and this way the resulting UUIDs) have changed. This operation
219 is performed daily automatically.
220 .IP "\fBinfo\fR" 4
221 .IX Item "info"
222 This print summary page of identification information, including all
223 UUIDs and all of their calculation inputs.
224 .SH "FILES"
225 .IX Header "FILES"
226 The three UUIDs of the \fBOpenPKG\fR instance are stored in the file
227 \&\f(CW\*(C`@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/uuid\*(C'\fR in Bourne-Shell syntax. An example
228 content is:
229 .PP
230 .Vb 3
231 \& UUID_REGISTRY="81eca44e-4d18-11d8-a837-0090272ff725"

237 By default and in full compliance with \s-1DCE\s0 1.1 and \s-1ISO/IEC\s0 11578:1996,
238 the OpenPKG Registry \s-1UUID\s0 (\f(CW\*(C`UUID_REGISTRY\*(C'\fR) contains the \s-1IEEE\s0 802 \s-1MAC\s0
239 address of the underlying host. If this is not acceptable by local
240 security policies you can easily at any time generate a new OpenPKG
241 Registry \s-1UUID\s0 with a random multicast \s-1MAC\s0 address instead by running:
242 .PP
243 .Vb 2
244 \& $ openpkg uuid reset
