Same issue as with bsd-games.

This ball is in my court. As mentioned in the bug report, this issue
only applies when users are a part of the 'games' group. As far as I
know, this issue has not been fixed anywhere (even in gentoo where it
is actually a real issue, since people are encouraged to join the
'games' group).
Although users are not in the games group on Fedora this is still a
problem, this hole allows the following scenario:
- find a sgid game which is exploitable to get games gid rights
- use the games gid rights to drop a crafted file which will
exploit nethack when opened by nethack.
- once another users runs nethack and opens the crafted file
unwanted things get done with the rights of the other user.
So although low priority this needs fixing never the less.

Hans
