I thought I'd seen a warning on uuid before but can't find it in the
archives...

Is the uuid affected by changing the ethernet local adaptor address? the
reason I ask is I expect many adaptor addresses to have been changed to a
common reverse-address like 00020000007 or something like that (remember
them? - back when token ring was strategic)... so making uuid effectively
useless..

Anyone gone with UUID and had the same reservations? Got an answer?

Thanks,
Brendan
