Description Karel Zak 2022-06-02 15:06:08 UTC 
Originally reported for upstream: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/1704

Reproducer (see last UUID segment):

$cat /sys/class/net/eno1/address 
78:24:af:89:16:70

$ uuidgen -t
d1fd6e2a-e280-11ec-bfa6-7824af891670
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^

$ sudo systemctl start uuidd.service uuidd.socket

$ uuidgen -t
dca6f21a-e280-11ec-aa9a-a1947ddd01b8
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^

The problem is the restrictive systemd service configuration

         RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_UNIX

but libuuid uses

         sd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP);

to get MAC address.
