Hi All,

I have managed to automate most of my Evolution account setup using
gconftool-2 and sed.  My problem at the moment is the generation of the
uid value in the account string shown below.

uid="1103529217.8931.0@vserver"

The first value appears to be the time the account was created in
seconds since 1/1/1970 and can be obtained using date +"%s".  The last
value is obviously the hostname the account was created on (should it be
hostname@domain?).  I was wondering what the other values in the string
are and how they are generated?

Thanks

Murray
