	Any useful resources that I can look through on how to debug
things?  For instance, one of the machines at the office is an old
Altos machine running 'Sendmail 5.59/Altos-2.0 ready'...I'd like to be
able to test that one for any holes.  

	As for SATAN...you are right, the hosts I used it against all
reported no vulnerabilities, yet I know we've been having some breakin
problems :(
