Description

Information about policy server UUID is located in /var/rudder/tmp/uuid.txt

That directory is shared beetween every agents running, but the information may be different for each of them.
and last running agent will overwrote that file.

That file may be better located in the agent specific directory (/var/rudder/agent-name) to solve that problem.

I don't understand what change is needed here. What is meant by "agent-name"? What string should this be, and where do we read it from?

This file contains the policy server uuid, for the inventory
However, if you have several agent on the system (like enterprise and community), and each one as a different policy server (which is possible with the current set of promises), the value will be erases by the last agent running, hence an invalid value fro the policy server uuid will be the inventory

agent-name could be community on community edition, and enterprise on enterprise edition

OK, I understand. This would be nice to have, but I see no urgency here. De-assigning.

A very simple way to do this is to just store this file in CFEngine's ${sys.workdir} directory. This will obviously be agent-unique.

Ha, this cause a problem with fusioninventory
Fusioninventory looks for the policy server uuid in /var/rudder/tmp/uuid.txt, but now the file is in ${sys.workdir}/rudder-server-uuid.txt, so the inventory doesn't work as expected
