Have you confirmed if it is a reporting problem or a data capture problem? I.e. is that the "uname -Fa" is still producing the full output, but the RedBack environment does not return the entire result? You could try "uname -Fa|tee /tmp/uname.redback.$$" to capture what is being output and compare it to the result RedBack is reporting.

Suggestions are welcome about how to get the whole value. For example: >From the command line and UO the result from 'uname -Fa' is: AIX hostname 3 5 ttttccsssssp ttttmmmccsssss >From a Redback connection that 'longnid' value is missing: AIX hostname 3 5 ttttccsssssp See the following page for details about how uname has changed in 5.3. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-systemid.htm l Rocket has not been able to identify the cause. I guess they don't have access to IBM resources anymore. ;) It's my current guess that Redback is running in 32bit mode and that the longnid may only be generated for 64bit applications, but I can't test that. This is important for my purposes as uname is used as a component of the security mechanism to lock NebulaXLite and other software to a single system. I don't care what the value is, but I need it to be reported consistently. For now I'm issuing a site-specific version of the software so they can move forward, but I'd like to understand the problem. Thanks!
