Too bad you're not using Apollo's NCS.  With it, there is no need to do this
ridiculous activity since NCS includes a program that generates Unique Universal
Identifiers (UUIDs) which are used to identify RPCs and remote objects.

>From "Network Computing Architecture", Lisa Zahn, et. al., Prentice-Hall, 1990,
ISBN 0-13-611674-4, page 11:

 "In addition, UUIDs can be generated anywhere without the need for prior
contact with some other agent, for example, contact with a special server on the
network, or a human representative of a company that hands out identifiers."

Pretty much hits the nail on the head, huh?

NCS is available for Suns, among other machines.
