Satan does NOT fix ANYTHING. Satan, like I said, finds security holes.
From the point of view of the cracker, this allows the cracker to exploit the
holes.
From the point of view of the administrator, it allows them to fix the
problems.
Since I was talking about the cracker being able to gain access to the Unix
system, the I was correct in saying that Satan exploits (or assists in the
process of exploiting) the security holes left open by the admin.
