Package: nethack-common Version: 3.4.3-10 Severity: normal The root user should not be used to play games. Forcing the use of root for playing nethack in wizard-mode is IMO bad practice. It's not straightforward to work around it with fakeroot either, due to the setgid bit.
I agree with the reporter in but #53901 that the upstream default of "wizard" is not ideal, but I think it's better than using "root". Ideal, IMO would be to enable wizard mode for group games, as members of this group already have write access to savegames, etc. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages nethack-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries Versions of packages nethack-common recommends: ii nethack-console 3.4.3-10 Text-based overhead view D&D-style -- debconf information: nethack-common/recover-setgid: false nethack-common/backup-incompatible: backup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
