Old description:

> looking into this.

New description:

 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.
