Just a warning to anyone who tries to use Satan to check your OSF/1 1.3
machines. There is a bug which Satan will trigger on certain machines
(possibly nis servers) which can crash your machine. There is a patch:

/usr/sys/BINARY/svc_kudp.o (9WEBC3462)(DEC OSF/1 V1.3)
CHECKSUM: 46905 130

Which you can find on the patch site
(ftp.service.digital.com:/osf/v1.3/base/svc_kudp.o)

The fact that Satan can crash a 1.3 machine is mentioned in the Satan docs,
but the fix isn't.
