# Emulate genhostid(1) available on RHEL/CENTOS, for use on distros
# which do not provide that utility.
#
# Usage:
# zgenhostid
# zgenhostid <value>
#
# If /etc/hostid already exists and is size > 0, the script exits immediately
# and changes nothing. Unlike genhostid, this generates an error message.
#
# The first form generates a random hostid and stores it in /etc/hostid.
# The second form checks that the provided value is between 0x1 and 0xFFFFFFFF
# and if so, stores it in /etc/hostid. This form is not supported by
# genhostid(1).
hostid_file=/etc/hostid
