If this ends up showing twice, it's 'cause I posted to `expert' instead
of `Expert' last night. . .

The binary for NetHack is setup to run setgid games (-rwxrwsr-x games
games).  When using kernel-secure-2.2.16-9mdk, a normal user can execute
nethack yet isn't allowed to lock the perm file.  The game promptly
pukes, feeling little remorse.  I can then tell grub to boot the regular
kernel (not kernel-secure) and NetHack works fine.  Can I configure
kernel-secure to allow setgid file locking and still keep the other
security enhancements?  If so, how?

Thanks for any help with this. . .
