If you update the system from p5 to current (p12), and it shows p9 instead p12 the first thing you think is that something on the system update went wrong, not that everything was fine except the update of the file that uname -a reads. If release info patch is p12, it must update the whole system to p12. If you update an app from 2.24.1 to 2.24.2 and doing 'app -v' shows 2.24.1 it means something went wrong, not that update only modified config files and not the binary. > > If your sources are in /usr/src, do this: > > grep -v # /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh | head -4 No, uname -a should give the correct answer. Has uname other utility than show information about the operating system implementation? No, and it must be accurate. --- --- Eduardo Morras
