Are you referring to the SLID in the CM REQ?  If so, I've been looking at this 
issue as well.  I simply cannot think of any way to come up with this LID, and 
my current solution is to punt this problem over to the passive side, which 
could use the SLID of the router that the CM REQ is received from.  If not, 
well, then I just rambled more than usual.
