Olivier Mengu=C3=A9 commented on AXIS2C-1439:
----------------------------------------

The RFC 4122 (which describes UUID) advice to use cryptographic level rando=
m data instead of MAC address.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#page-15

The Apache Portable Runtime has such an implementation under Apache License=

> axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() return NULL on AIX 5.3.
> The axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() implementation is the default one (neither=
 HAVE_LINUX_IF_H or HAVE_GETIFADDRS defined).
> Note that the case of axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() returning NULL is not ha=
ndled in axutil_uuid_gen_v1(), so invalid memory access occurs.
