4/13 Hey, if you're going to update nethack, update angband, too. You
could also install a variant, like NPPAngband:
http://home.comcast.net/~nppangband
\_ Interesting. Thanks for the pointer.
\_ there's even a competition:
http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/angband_comp/compo.html
\_ Installed angband (there was a ports version) - amckee
\_ NPPAngband is trivial to install. Why not install that too?
\_ Because I was up until 2:30 upgrading Perl and did this
between compiles? MAYBE I'll install it, though. =) amckee
\_ If by 'trivial' you mean 'completely manual', yes it was trivial.
I've installed it as NPPAngband, I did not overwrite angband
\_Oh no! There goes my weekend/life! -scottyg

\_ Unable to replicate with my two user-land accounts,
do you have any stale files around? Anyone else seeing this?
Send email to amckee/root, iff you see this and want it
looked at.
\_ i don't think you quite understand what userland means.
\_ You do realize that, in addition to OS, process, and
object level privileges, root accounts can run in
increased kernel priority levels? Granted, in this case
the problem is most likely to do with file permissions,
it is not an atypical usage of the word 'userland' to
refer to non-root/non-privileged users. Thanks for the
snideness, though.
\_ i still don't think you quite understand what
userland means. try looking it up in, say, the jargon
file. root accounts are not any different from
normal ones in terms of where they run (i.e., they do
not run in the kernel). the kernel will allow you to
do privileges things by being root, yes, but they are
still done by the kernel, not because you as root are
in the kernel mucking around. |
