.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm ln

|
.Fl s Cm dm Ar game
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a program used to regulate game playing.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
expects to be invoked with the name of a game that a user wishes to play.
|
|
This is done by creating symbolic links to
|
|
.Nm "" ,
|
|
in the directory
|
|
.Pa /usr/games
|
|
for all of the regulated games.
|
|
The actual binaries for these games should be placed in a
|
|
.Dq hidden
|
|
directory,
|
|
.Pa /usr/games/hide ,
|
|
that may only be accessed by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
determines if the requested game is available and, if so, runs it.
|
|
The file
|
|
.Pa /etc/dm.conf
|
|
controls the conditions under which games may
|
|
be run.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file
|
|
.Pa /etc/nogames
|
|
may be used to
|
|
.Dq turn off
|
|
game playing.
|
|
If the file exists, no game playing is allowed; the contents of the file
|
|
will be displayed to any user requesting a game.

|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Two problems result from
|
|
.Nm
|
|
running the games setuid
|
|
.Dq games .
|
|
First, all games that allow users to run
|
|
.Tn UNIX
|
|
commands should carefully
|
|
set both the real and effective user id's immediately before executing
|
|
those commands. Probably more important is that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
never be setuid
|
|
anything but
|
|
.Dq games
|
|
so that compromising a game will result only in
|
|
the user's ability to play games at will. Secondly, games which previously
|
|
had no reason to run setuid and which accessed user files may have to
|
|
be modified.
|

command appeared in
