The check isn't working right on on FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE. Here is what the code to get the version string yields because `uname -r` isn't matched by the sed script.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd-2.0]$ uname -r | sed -e 's/\(.\)\.\(.\)\..*/\1\2/' 3.4-RELEASE test simply bails out with this error message: test: 3.4-RELEASE: bad number I could add another step to the pipeline to standardize other version string formats uname -r | sed -e 's/\(.\)\.\(.\)\..*/\1\2/' | sed -e 's/\(.\)\.\(.\)\-.*/\1\2/' Ryan (or anybody else), what is a real-life example of `uname -r` output which the existing sed substitution handles? I'll make sure that example as well as my 3.4-RELEASE example works before committing a change.
