Yes, 123456 was "whatever EPSG code corresponds to the projection your 
data is really using" I have no idea what projection that is; read the 
metadata to find out, and thumb through your PROJ's epsg file as well; 
that's usually /usr/share/proj/epsg for Unix.

I wasn't always GIS either; I'm still 90% sysadmin, security, and 
general programmer. :)
