Grep on Solaris is the original AT&T grep, not GNU grep.  You can obtain
a Solaris binary package grep 2.5 from http://www.sunfreeware.com and
other places.  It installs into /usr/local/bin, so you can manipulate
your PATH to choose which grep you are using.  In particular, AT&T fgrep
cannot handle -f files with more than a few thousand entries.

Uname, however, should work fine.
