>Description:
I was fooling around with the output of uname this evening and
happened to notice that no matter where you places the -s option,
the value is placed in the first position.
Normal Use:
# uname -n -p -r
devil.dmz.digitalvoodoo.org 5.1-RELEASE-p8 i386
Okay - now I want to insert the OS Name in position 2:
# uname -n -s -p -r -s
FreeBSD devil.dmz.digitalvoodoo.org 5.1-RELEASE-p8 i386
Same result using any other combination of options involving -s
>How-To-Repeat:
I repeated this on two 5.1 boxes with the same system state
(updated 09/25 STABLE)
>Fix:
I wish I did. This seems as if it would be a trivial fix
for someone who knows how to program.
