I have attempted to compile SATAN-1.1.1 on a BSDI 2.0 system with
no success.  After compiling perl5.001, I edited the paths.pl file
to point to the correct paths, and ran reconfig several times before
finally finding out that the first line of the reconfig file had to be deleted
to get rid of the "need" error message.  Because the rusers, ypwhich,
and ypcat files do not exist on my system, reconfig gave error messages
stating that they could not be found.  Make then crashed at the following
lines:
  open.limit.c:15  warning 'RLIMIT_NOFILE' redefined
   .....snip.....
  open.limit.c:23 'RLIMIT_NOFILE' undeclared.......
stop
*** error code 1.

Questions:
i) Are the presence of rusers, ypwhich, and ypcat necessary
for SATAN to compile?

ii) If they are not, can anyone give me some hints on editing the
the Makefile and other config files?
