To get an idea of the OS running at the remote machine, there is the snmp protocol. Just query "...system.sysDescr.0" and you get (on unix/linux) the results of `uname -a`. On the other hand, most systems like to hide their identification to avoid exploiting of known leaks of the system. There are even systems that spoof being an other system for that purpose.
