The bourne shell script 'rsh.satan' falsely reports a vulnerability on hosts that are running DEC VMS 6.1 This is because the OS sends the following message to standard output: UCX$RSHD - Permission denied - host IP addr To fix, just add a test for the above string to the 'if $TEST -s "$tmp_file"' test in 'rsh.satan'. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ David R.

Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. Any resemblance between the above and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader. The question of the existence of the reader is left as an exercise for the second god coefficient. (A discussion of non-orthogonal, non-integral polytheism is beyond the scope of this article.) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
