In the context of the original message, which was about crackers being able
to get into Unix, I am correct. Satan finds security holes (it doesn't
fix anything as Mike said). In the hands of a cracker, it allows the
cracker to exploit the holes Satan found. In the hands of the administrator,
it allows him to fix the problems.
I've used Satan. Have you? Didn't think so. So why are you agreeing with
something you know nothing about?
Regards,
