That's interesting to know. Is that documented somewhere? I always set the sysctls like this (e.g. on FreeBSD 6.1): compat.linux.osrelease: 6.1 compat.linux.osname: FreeBSD (I have an rc.d script which uses the output from uname -rs to set those two sysctls accordingly.) So far, I have never encountered any problems. I'm doing that because I use the Linux binary of Opera, and I prefer the "User-Agent" header to say FreeBSD instead of Linux, so it will be counted correctly for sites that collect statistics about the OS of their visitors. Should I expect to run into problems with that in the future? If so, I think a warning should be added to the linux(4) manpage. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
