But don't think you are safe, because your Alpha can't execute the i386-code
of the script kiddies. Interpreter scripts (like usual shell scripts) just run,
if the buffer overflow allows execution of code. So just start with "#!/bin/sh"
and it will run on every platform, can modify /etc/inetd.conf, HUP it, and
voila, your shell on some port is open...
