What do you mean by "set a pointer"?
Are you actually allocating a "struct utsname" or merely a pointer to
one?

Only a pointer? Don't do that! You must allocate an actual struct
and pass a pointer to that to uname().

No! No! No! Use strcpy().
(but if you had allocated a struct like you should have done in the
first place, you wouldn't even have to do a copy)
