[net.unix-wizards] Rogue

Since people have been making comments about rogue... We took the rogue binary
and ran "strings" on it.  This gave us (obviously) all the strings in the
program... in the list of strings we found a line that said "Wizards
Password:" and after that was a string that looked strangely like a 
string in the password file.... so, we replaced it (using adb) with 
a string that had a known password.  When you are in rogue and type
a ^P it asks for the wizards password.  Of course, your name will not
be on the score board if you even become a wizard, but you can do all
sorts of amazing things.... you can even edit the score file, although
how I'm not sure... we didn't spend the time on details.

You should say what version of rogue.  I'd bet it is 3.6.  I haven't found
the string in 5.2.  In 3.6 you will have LOTS of extra commands as the
superuser (creating any object you desire, enchanting yourself 9 times, ...)
This should be in net.games.rogue, so comment/reply to that news group please.
