dm -- dungeon master
SYNOPSIS
ln -s dm game
DESCRIPTION
dm is a program used to regulate game playing. dm expects to be invoked with the name of a game that a user wishes to play. This is done by
creating symbolic links to dm, in the directory /usr/games for all of the regulated games. The actual binaries for these games should be
placed in a ``hidden'' directory, /usr/games/hide, that may only be accessed by the dm program. dm determines if the requested game is
available and, if so, runs it. The file /etc/dm.conf controls the conditions under which games may be run.
The file /etc/nogames may be used to ``turn off'' game playing. If the file exists, no game playing is allowed; the contents of the file
will be displayed to any user requesting a game.
FILES
/etc/dm.conf configuration file
/etc/nogames turns off game playing
/usr/games/hide directory of ``real'' binaries
/var/log/games.log game logging file
SEE ALSO dm.conf(5)HISTORY
The dm command appeared in 4.3BSD-Tahoe.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Two issues result from dm running the games setgid ``games''. First, all games that allow users to run UNIX commands should carefully set
both the real and effective group ids immediately before executing those commands. Probably more important is that dm never be setgid any-
thing but ``games'' so that compromising a game will result only in the user's ability to play games at will. Secondly, games which previ-
ously had no reason to run setgid and which accessed user files may have to be modified.

Stupid question, but is there an ANSI C stdlib function that will do this for me? I want to pass the function a path and determine if the current process can read/write/execute on the path. I suppose I can whip something up using fstat and then determining the current process's user/group IDs and... (6 Replies)

Hi!
I recently downloaded a wordlist file called 2of12.txt, which is a wordlist of common words, part of the 12dicts package. I've been getting unexpected results from grepping it, such as getting no matches when clearly there ought to be, or returns that are simply wrong.
Par exemple:

Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how to find words with X number of doubles, only. I'm searching a dictionary, (one word per line). For instance, if you want to find words containing only one pair of double letters, you could do something like this:

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. The code should work fine. I have been making small changes insuring that each new bit works. Now running my sed through multiple files I am getting incorrect output. Any help and instruction would be greatly appreciated.
