Better to Rule in Hell than Serve in Heaven

Better to Rule in Hell than Serve in Heaven — In a story that hit everything from the New York Times to National Public Radio, SATAN creator Dan Farmer and Silicon Graphics, Inc., parted company last week, in no small part due to Dan’s involvement with the SATAN network security analysis program (see TidBITS-268). Reactions have been mixed – even among SGI employees – although Farmer himself doesn’t seem to have been particularly disturbed by the turn of events. He notes SATAN is still scheduled to be released 05-Apr-95. [GD]
