I am trying to get a RPC number registered. I have tryed to email, send letters and contacted local SUN offices, but they either they did not respond or they refer to the RPC Administrator as mentioned in the SUN manuals.(but she/he is not responding !!!!!!) I would really appreciate any suggestions or tips on how to get it done. (Maybe someone from SUN is reading this ?? ) Thanks in advance. -- Peter van Emst System Support Group Intergraph EHQ Holland Email: ingreur!hfdorp!emst_p / ingr!hfdorp!emst_p

(Maybe someone from SUN is reading this ?? ) 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. -steve | Steve Vinoski | Hewlett-Packard Apollo Div. | ARPA: vinoski@apollo.com | | (508)256-6600 x5904 | Chelmsford, MA 01824 | UUCP: ...!apollo!vinoski |
