I was wondering if it is possible to change the name output of uname to report a different OS? We bought some security software (Modified NFR) but it only supports OpenBSD. I *can* install OpenBSD but I really really really do not want to loose IPSTEALTH, Fast Forwarding, etc.. on a FreeBSD box. Since this is a security gateway. I would like it to remain invisble and FAST. Netiher of which im convinced OBSD is able to do. But the main point is the CDROM install media has a simple script that looks for BSDI, OBSD, or solaris. The only binary app it installs is a modified kernel to the target OS. I dont care about that. I just want to know if I can change the uname output to report OpenBSD rather than FreeBSD and work around the install program? This may sound like a lot of effort but I am going to try everything I can to keep FreeBSD as the OS. I realy don't want to be stuck placing an OpenBSD box at my border with a T-3 connection. I want my ipstealth and fast forwarding! :-) Thanks Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
