What is more important to us: better working linux emulation or : reporting the "correct" OS type when visting web sites with Netscape? It is better to not bloat the netscape numbers. Also, uname is returning what OS we are running on.... : How can we possibly conclude that just fixing uname(1) will do it?

Theoretically, yes, this could be the case. To date, none have surfaced. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
