Re: iexplorer and solaris 2.8 (aka soalris 8?)




tzafrir,

you might try doing the following:

1. write a small shaerd library that implements a function named 'uname',
   with the signature of the 'uname' system call.

2. have this 'uname' function invoke the original uname system call (using
   the 'syscall' function) and then change the OS version string from
   '2.8' to '2.6'.

3. LD_PRELOAD this library when running iexplore.

4. tell us how that worked. my _guess_ is that it'll work properly, but it
   might also simply crash a little later.
