Comment(by hamiltonchua):

 Hello Martin,

 Thanks for taking a look. Please see my responses below :

 - I don't understand what you mean by the diff and full files being
 equivalent. I grabbed the original python scripts and diffed them against
 the modified scripts I made.

 - I did not intentionally replace -a with -z. It may have been a typo on
 my part.

 - I am replacing the gconf stuff. In order to use the values from gconf, a
 session has to be active. Because of this, the script when executed in a
 cron fails to get the uuid and serial. I have decided to store the values
 in files instead.

 - Yes, my apologies, I will use -u next time.

 - The MAC address taken from the current hardware the SoaS is plugged into
 is for purposes of generating a random UUID for registering into an XS.
 When it is plugged in again, the SoaS should already be registered and
 there is no need to check for the MAC address again. Is there a need to
 remember the random value used to generate the SN and UUID ? I think once
 we have an SN and UUID we don't need that random value anymore right ?

 We are now testing the changes to both schoolserver.py and ds-backup.py
 where we store serial and UUID in files instead of gconf. Hope to have it
 posted here soon.

 Thanks again.
