[systemd-devel] Are Pathnames in /tmp/systemd-private-foo predictable?

[Marc Haber]

Hi,

I am wondering where the 32 xdigit number in pathnames like

systemd-private-27aa635a15cf4da0a7ebda10f25c3950-chrony.service-9DShFi/

comes from. I always had the impression that it's the systemd/dbus
machine id, but that does not seem to be the case. Is that just an
arbitrary random number, or can it be predicted in a way?

Greetings
Marc
