Hello All,
I was wondering if it may be possible to call sysctl, instead of requiring dmidecode to be installed for getting the uuid of a system?
According to the user that filed the bug below, dmidecode needs to be installed to get the uuid, or errors will be printed in logs to get the uuid.

I was wondering if sysctl can be called to get this information for FreeBSD? I am not sure if Linux would give similar information, but would think it might. Beyond this, I am not sure if dmidecode is used for other aspects beyond uuid where it is required where sysctl doesn't give the information needed.I was wondering if it may be possible to call sysctl, instead of requiring dmidecode to be installed for getting the uuid of a system?

$ sudo dmidecode |grep -i uuid
UUID: 42355DE8-C55C-E487-8E16-509A78EB5EE1
$ sysctl kern.hostuuid
kern.hostuuid: 42355de8-c55c-e487-8e16-509a78eb5ee1Thanks,Jason
