Hello, I don't understand how nethack can store the score in /usr/local/lib/nethack/logfile. the real binary is here /usr/local/lib/nethack/nethack And the mode is -rwxr-sr-x 1 games games 1793635 25 Jan 2011 /usr/local/lib/nethack/nethack So that means people in games group will run nethack as games user (owner of file) but I'm not in games group ! and I can save the file located in /usr/local/lib/nethack/logfile which mode is -rw-rw-r-- games games I'm writing a game that will store file too, because I can't make it works like nethack I was planning using the setuid mode but I don't like much this .. What am I misunderstanding? Cheers, -- David Demelier
