I believe that this is automatic with VMS V4.4 and later, i.e., the identifier
will be created the first time you boot your VAX3 system and each user logging
into VAX3 will get the identifier added to their process rights list.  This
is definitely true for a VAXCluster; I suspect that the key is to define the
SYSGEN parameter SCSNODE as "VAX3" to get this to happen.  You can define the
SCSNODE parameter on non-VAXCluster systems with no apparent problems.  We
do this to provide a quick means to "name" the system; F$GETSYI("NODENAME")
thus provides an identifier for the system.
