[Users] Oracle on a VE

[Anatoly Pugachev]

try to emulate uname? move the original /bin/uname to /bin/uname.orig
and create /bin/uname :

#!/bin/bash

if [ $USER = 'oracle' ]; then
        echo Linux blabla
else 
        /bin/uname.orig $*
fi

and when you finish, move uname.orig back to its name.
