Oops .. looks like I spoke too soon <embarrassed> .. won't work when 
uname is called from a script .. So, as Craig said, modifying the script 
is your best bet .. of course you could still create the unamemod script 
and then link that to /bin/uname temporarily -- but I guess that's more 
trouble than it's worth ;)
