Description Bill Peck 2011-01-11 19:39:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

uuid.uuid1() makes calls to ifconfig which spawns avc errors due to leaked file descriptors.

Looking at the uuid code it looks like we should be able to call uuid.uuid4() instead which will still generate a random uuid but not use ifconfig.

I did not check that all versions of pytnon-uuid support uuid4(), would need to test against rhel3-rhel6.

Thanks

This is a low impact one-liner. No reason not to do it immediately.
