Leave struct uuid_v1 as is please. The AFS protocol XDR encodes the fields as delineated in the struct: r->time_low = b[0]; r->time_mid = htons(ntohl(b[1])); r->time_hi_and_version = htons(ntohl(b[2])); r->clock_seq_hi_and_reserved = ntohl(b[3]); r->clock_seq_low = ntohl(b[4]); for (loop = 0; loop < 6; loop++) r->node[loop] = ntohl(b[loop + 5]); Yeah, I know it's crazy to do it like this on the wire rather than just encode it as a 16-byte blob, but that's what someone defined it as... Trying to use the uuid_be struct instead just makes things more messy. David
