#22167: nethack runs as root

Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: | Port: nethack
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
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.
