Default: true
_Description: Use setgid bit with NetHack's recover utility?
The "recover" program in the package nethack-common is traditionally
installed with the "setgid" bit set, so that all users can use it to
recover their own save files after a crash (with "games" group
privileges). This is a potential source of security problems.
.
This package includes a script that runs during system boot, invoking
recover on any broken save files it finds. This makes it less likely
that users will need to run it themselves, so the default is to install
recover without the special permission bits required for that.
.
If you choose this option, unprivileged users will be able to run "recover".
