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].)

ZzZZz:

char s[100];
...
strcpy(s,getenv("HOME"));

Good luck!
