ls -ld /var/games/adom/ drwxrwx--- 2 root games 4096 Jul 26 15:15 /var/games/adom/ what's yours look like?
The same.
Then you aren't in the games group.
I am. piotrek@localhost ~ $ ls -ld /var/games/adom/ drwxrwx--- 2 root games 4096 07-26 20:34 /var/games/adom/ piotrek@localhost ~ $ id uid=1000(piotrek) gid=1007(piotrek) grupy=1007(piotrek),5(tty),6(disk),10(wheel),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(video),35(games),85(usb),100(users),103(cdemu),250(portage),1002(plugdev),1013(vboxusers) piotrek@localhost ~ $
Ok, I found a hidden file .HIGHSCORE owned by root:root there. chowned and chmoded it and it works now. Any Idea where it could have come from?
Try: touch /var/games/adom/junk ls -l /var/games/adom
See my comment 5
Someone might have played the game as root. Tough to say for sure since it's a binary-only game. Glad you figured out a work-around.
Ok, so there's something wrong. I removed the highscore file, played the game, quickly kicked myself to the death and looked into /var/games/adom. The game created a highscore file, but it was owned by me and my group instead of games: # ls -l -a razem 52 drwxrwx--- 2 root games 4096 07-26 23:43 . drwxr-x--- 4 root games 4096 2010-09-05 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 piotrek piotrek 6733 07-26 20:34 adom.err -rw-r--r-- 1 piotrek piotrek 32800 07-26 23:43 .HISCORE This is clearly wrong, isn't it?
Looks like only one person gets to play it at a time. Not much we can do about it since it's a binary-only game.
Maybe this file should be created with correct permisions by the ebuild during install?
Those permissions are probably as correct as they can be.
