Subject: uname(1) written (one more step closer to UUCP)

  I've got the Sys V uname command written, and I've forwarded it to
 Linus for inclusion in the 0.13 release (if you need it ahead of time,
 I can mail it to you; it's teeny.)

  Anyway, uname lets you correctly name your machine so that uucp
 can pick up the host name for the Shere=.... message, etc... and should
 be executed by some /etc/rc script when the machine is booted.

  To make sure this works, and to get Taylor UUCP polished off, I'd
 like to gauge the net to find out which init/login setup seems to
 be the one people prefer. If you're working on one, and have it
 in reasonable shape; I'd like to try it out... toss me some mail...
