cygwin uname dos not work on win server 2003

[whn]

My company has a win server 2003 with cygwin installed.

However, it seems to me that the output of 'uname' is a little odd.

Z:\>uname -a
Windows_NT

Z:\>uname -p
Windows_NT

Z:\>uname -r
Windows_NT

Z:\>uname -m
Windows_NT

I'd expect that the command 'uname' with a different flag would return a different piece of info. Am I wrong?

Thanks for the help.

Actually, cygwin uname does not take any arguments.

Z:\>uname -anystringblahblahblah
Windows_NT
