Add the following verb to $guest.  It should have been moved from 
$local.guest to $guest before the core was extracted.

#31:connection_name_hash   this none this
"Compute an encrypted hash of the guest's (last) connection, using 'crypt'. Basically, you can't tell where the guest came from, but it is unlikely that two guests will have the same hash";
"You can use guest:connection_name_hash(seed) as a string to identify whether two guests are from the same place.";
xx = $wiz_utils:connection_hash(caller_perms(), $string_utils:connection_hostname(this.last_connect_place), @args);
hash = tonum(caller_perms());
host = $string_utils:connection_hostname(this.last_connect_place);
for i in [1..length(host)]
  hash = hash * 14 + index($string_utils.ascii, host[i]);
endfor
return crypt(tostr(hash), @args);
