That does explain why the group "games" was added, although I still don't quite understand why so many other changes are made to the Netinfo database. For instance, I noticed that one of the users/groups added (icecast) relates apparently to a streaming media server, and it seems like an odd thing for a simple X game like Space Invaders to need or use. And that "icecast" user/group is not apparently used for assigning permissions to files or directories. However, I think I'm satisfied that the Netinfo changes aren't malicious; that was really my primary concern. Thanks much for your email!
