#22167 assigned defect

nethack runs as root

Reported by: adam.gc.watkins@… Owned by: Nax (Maxime Bacoux)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: nethack

Description (last modified by yeled@…)

Nethack runs as root, via setuid on

'/opt/local/share/nethackdir/nethack'. It might sensible to setgid as 'games' or similar and set permissions appropriately elsewhere, but to run nethack as root by default is insane from a security perspective.
