On every Linux box I've ever used, uname -p prints 'unknown'. This has never affected me in the slightest, but every once in a while it occurs to me that I still have no idea what it means. I assume I could somehow make it print something i686 or something, although this is what's printed by uname -m. The docs indicate that the info gets read from the running kernel, so maybe it's something I have to configure when compiling the kernel.
On my Solaris machine, uname -m prints sun4u, while -p prints sparc. So maybe uname -p could print 'ia32' or something like that... I dunno. I'm curious. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
