.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
|
.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 @gamesdir@
|
|
for all of the regulated games.
|
|
The actual binaries for these games should be placed in a
|
|
.Dq hidden
|
|
directory,
|
|
.Pa @libexecdir@ ,
|
|
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 @dm_configfile@
|
|
controls the conditions under which games may be run.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file
|
|
.Pa @dm_nogamesfile@
|
|
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 HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 tahoe .
|
|
.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
Two issues result from
|
|
.Nm
|
|
running the games setgid
|
|
.Dq games .
|
|
First, all games that allow users to run
|
|
.Ux
|
|
commands should carefully
|
|
set both the real and effective group ids immediately before executing
|
|
those commands.
|
|
Probably more important is that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
never be setgid 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 setgid and which
|
|
accessed user files may have to be modified.
