If your goal is to have uname(1) return the correct value, yes, except it won't always work. For instance, sudo(1) (and probably also su(1), but I never use it) will strip it from the environment and will *not* run /etc/profile before the requested command. > Or, since the correct value is always in newvers.sh, if src is present > in the system a periodic script could update it automatically.
