uname -a gives:

Darwin Reynoldss-iMac.local 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:26:45 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

 

All support info says OS X 10.7.5 is 64 bit, yet the tools report otherwise.

 

I'm trying to install a SonicWall VPN netExtender and it says I'm running 32 bit and will not install the 64 bit libraries.

 

This system was just reinstalled at the genius bar and I worry that I have the wrong kernel.

Or are the Lion Tools just wrong?
