Jacque,
I'm tardy here, but didn't see any replies.
Could you write a shell script that ssh'ed to the remote machine,
then check the $HOST variable. Kinda roundabout, I know.
Or how about just getting the number of bytes of data on each disk.
Not guaranteed to be unique, but the chances of duplicated numbers
would be miniscule.

I want to know the network name of a remote machine on a network.
For a local machine, I can get "the address" and the first part of
the address is the name I'm looking for. But on a remote, mounted
volume "the address" doesn't include its machine name. Any ideas? I
only need this for Mac OS X, but it has to work for all but the
earliest versions of OS X.
If I can't easily get the network name, then any unique identifying
info would do. I considered getting the machine ID using Ken Ray's
"stsGetSerialNumber" handler, but it only returns the serial
numbers of local hard drives.
The only requirements are: it has to be a unique identifier, and it
has to be obtainable both remotely and locally.
