• Pointing out bugs is one thing, but fixing them is not always possible. With the first release, SATAN focuses on problems that can be fixed or worked around by the system administrator, at least when the operating system version is reasonably up to date. • The authors have only a few hours in the day available for SATAN development, and writing the data collection tools wasn’t nearly as much fun as building the SATAN framework that controls them. • Many bugs are *extremely* difficult to check for, especially when you’re dealing with code that has to return a yes or no in a very short time over potentially thousands of hosts.
