It's questionable if they can seperate the Linux 2.2 TCP/IP stack from our pfinet, which uses the same code. But there is not enough information on their site to figure it out. Also, I don't know how they find out the uptime, I'd like to know so I can make sure they can do this correctly with the Hurd. I don't know of any public server, but I could probably set one up for them and for a constrained time frame. But I expect that someone else will be able to give them a better opportunity. If we can make non-invasive changes in pfinet to help the detection of the OS, I would not object against applying them, as long as they are very small, simple and don't have any effect on the normal operation.
