I don't think any of the games need to be suid, do they? Just sgid,
and even then only the ones which need to write score files.
oops, i meant setgid above.
BTW, going to a `set group id' paradigm means having *all* score files,
etc, that are traditionally created by the games pre-installed with the
correct owner/permissions, for this reason:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mrg games 32 Nov 20 01:51 /var/games/tetris.scores
this is what i'm working on now.
