This is a game after all. I dont think we should worry about someone editing the scores file. I cannot see any other games that I have installed from the Debian distribution to be using setgid. What is the custom of doing things under debian? On Tue, 24 Sep 1996, D. Charalambous wrote: 95dmc>Pac

Bug#4575: World writable file

1996-09-25 Thread D. Charalambous
Package: xgalaga Version: 1.6c-1 The file /usr/games/xgalaga/.xgalscores is world writable. The above file should not be world writable because any user can edit the score table. xgal is not sgid aware, so fixing this problem may not just be a case of changing permissions.
