Package: uuid Version: 1.5.1-1.1+b1 Severity: normal Specifying -v1 by itself uses a suitable local Ethernet MAC:
$ uuid -v1 c1939184-4e8e-11de-9a09-001a4d677db0 $ uuid -v1 c660bb9c-4e8e-11de-a750-001a4d677db0 Specifying -v1 -m uses a random multicast MAC, per the description of -m: $ uuid -v1 -m d0123cf6-4e8e-11de-91c4-77d0a706d5a4 $ uuid -v1 -m d06f0030-4e8e-11de-b9bb-d3fbd9b76d21 Specifying -m -v1 uses the local MAC again, ignoring the -m: $ uuid -m -v1 d7505c8c-4e8e-11de-9883-001a4d677db0 $ uuid -m -v1 da515abc-4e8e-11de-80d3-001a4d677db0 The manual page does not seem to indicate anything about a subsequent -v option overriding the effect of -m. ---> Drake Wilson -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages uuid depends on: ii libc6 2.9-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libossp-uuid15 1.5.1-1.1+b1 OSSP uuid ISO-C and C++ - shared l uuid recommends no packages. uuid suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
