We actually had a very vocal minority about all of that which ended up
putting us in the unfortunate position of generating a random UUID instead
of using a hardware UUID from hal :-/
Tinfoil hat responses indeed! Ok, if those folks are really that

heh, along those lines you could also do
dmesg > /dev/random
<grin>
dmesg often has machine-unique identifiers of all sorts (including the
MAC address, if you have an ethernet driver loaded)
