Probably more important is that +.Nm dm +never be setuid +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 setuid and which accessed user files may have to +be modified. +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm dm +command appeared in +.Bx 4.3 tahoe . -- cgit v1.2.3-56-ge451
