My girlfriend had this problem when installing Nethack as a package from the CDROM. If you do a clean install (after removing the previously installed package, of course) via the port, the permis- sions should be set up properly. BTW, did I mention angband? In some ways I like it better than nethack. As well, there's *another* nethack-alike called adom. Adom, IIRC, is only available as a Linux binary but I suppose it should run okay under Linux emulation.
