Message-ID: <539@expya.ex.ac.uk> Date: 25 Jun 88 02:22:43 GMT Sender: news@cs.ex.ac.uk Reply-To: jme@cs.exeter.ac.uk () Organization: Computer Science Dept. - University of Exeter. UK Lines: 9 I have compiled and tested the spacewar game. I dumped the database with the dmpdbm command. In the dump I found: plyr:'my password' How could this happen???? Is it a feature of spacewar or have I done any misstakes???????? You can set file protection so that other users cannot read the dbm, but the owner can still read it! Jonas
