An appropriately named shell script in the right place in the path might take care of uname(1), but I don't see how to take care of uname(2), the system call. When the vendor says that the software parses the string, I think that the software is calling uname(). So my question is whether there is a way by compiling a custom kernel for me to alter what the uname() system call reports. -- Thomas E.
