    More buggy soft (check your systems):
    
    * Conquest Game (Multi-player, curses based, space warfare game.)
                   ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/games/strategy/
                   (the location has been changed, check it)
    
    The program is installed [2771] gid = conquest.
    
    There are so many potential overflow conditions in the code, here is one as an
    example:
    
            char conf_name[256];
            char *homevar;
                    ...
            if ((homevar = getenv("HOME")) == NULL)
             {
               clog("GetConf(): getenv(HOME) failed");
               fprintf(stderr, "Can't get HOME environment variable. Exiting\n");
               return(ERR);
             }
    
            sprintf(conf_name, "%s/%s", homevar, CONFIG_FILE);
    
    
    * LinCity Game (LinCity is an SVGALIB and X based city/country simulation game
                    for Linux, Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD, HP_UX, AIX and IRIX are ALPHA
                    at this time, but have. been reported to work - sometimes
                    needing a tweak to the Makefile[s].)
                    ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/games/strategy
    
    ZzZZz:
    
            char s[100];
                    ...
            strcpy(s,getenv("HOME"));
    
    
    Good luck!
