Description

The hostid service that writes into /etc/hostid (using a bizarro rot-47 algorithm) makes use of perl to do the transform using a nearly illegible script. This should be replaced with a simple invocation of tr. This will eliminate another perl dependency, improve readability, and slightly reduce the boot time when this service is needed.
