- This is the way it's suppose to be, except dm is supposed to be an
- executable with owner games group bin and setuid.

- -r-sr-xr-x 1 games bin 16384 Nov 24 14:06 dm*
-
- The real binaries are in /usr/games/hide, and dm regulates access to
- them. For more information, look at the *dm* man page.
