I have a program, written for Linux, that uses the uname() information as part of its license check... Unfortunately, the check fails... the company indicates that the failure is due to incorrect uname() information. So - does the uname() call under Linux emulation claim to be a LINUX box? - or - does it claim to be a FreeBSD box... Which should it do? Seems to me, for accurate Linux emulation, it should claim to be Linux... - Opinions? - - Dave Rivers -
