I need some help in installing the new hack. I thought I set it
all up as indicated in the 10th installment and the READ_ME file.
I have set up the proper directories and have the game run setuid
and have the shell script in /usr/games. When I run the game,
it prints:
safelock: no such file or directory
<clear screen>
Cannot link safelock. (Try again or rm safelock)
Is it obvious from this what the problem is? I tried creating
am empty safelock file, but that apparently isn't what it wanted.
Can someone (Andries?) offer some advice?
Thanks,
Gordon Strong

This is mentioned in the READ_ME file that comes with the source but I overlooked it myself at first. The Mad Hacker Ray Allen utcsri!ray
