Package uuidd Installed

package_uuidd_installed

Description

The package uuidd is not installed on normal Linux distribution by default. Applications require this package to avoid database inconsistences caused by duplicated UUIDs. Especially in banking services with SAP where massive UUIDs are created in a short time period, it is important to install the package uuidd. More information can be found in SAP note 1391070. The uuidd package can be installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf install uuidd

Rationale

The uuidd package contains a userspace daemon (uuidd) which is used to generate unique identifiers even at very high rates on SMP systems.
