Operating Systems Solaris Wrong Solaris version displayed

At the risk of stating the obvious:

If the uname binary has been replaced by a script then running:
Code:
# file `type uname`

will confirm it, in which case find the correct uname binary (e.g. go to /sbin and do an ls of uname*) move uname out of the way and move the ELF binary version version of uname back in place.

To avoid unwanted error messages, that should be (under ksh):
Code:
# file `whence uname`

In any case, that wouldn't detect an interposition library, a tampered libc, a tampered binary or some dtrace trickery.
