} Only if you can have some secret stored someplace..
well, that's defeats the purpose.
The source code (i.e. all "secret places")
should be available to everyone,
but whoever executes this source code
should get his/her own unique number
and he/she should have NO way of knowing or guessing
what number other user would get.
That's the problem.
I thought there might be some global variable(s)
assigned to each user process which are
unique to each user but are unknown to other
users and which I might use as a seed to
srandom() to generate that "unique number"
I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Sergei
