By the way, in the region XML files you seem to be able to 
dynamically change on rebooting opensim.exe the following:

a) sim_name
b) sim_location_x, sim_location_y
c) internal_ip_port
d) external_host_name
de lastmap_refresh (can set to 0 to force a map refresh


BUT the following have no effect (even if altered)

a) sim_UUID
b) master_avatar_first, master_avatar_last

I would expect (a), but would have thought that (b) to change the 
region owner id should be possible? Is that a bug?

I have no idea what the 
master_avatar_uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" does but 
changing it to try to amend the owner of a region had no effect, or 
if that and the (default written)
estate_covanant_uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" are 
changeable or needed.

Any advice?  If we get a good factual summary, I will try to add it 
to the Wiki to help others.
