ptrconf -v isn't terribly random - it looks like you get a fairly small set.

My version (lifted from Tribblix) would look like

head -c 32 /dev/urandom | md5sum | awk '{print $1}' > /tmp/bits
echo "`cut -b1-8 < /tmp/bits`-`cut -b9-12 < /tmp/bits`-5`cut -b14-16 <
/tmp/bits`-9`cut -b18-20 < /tmp/bits`-`cut -b21-32 < /tmp/bits`" > /tmp/uuid
