+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ln
+.Fl s Cm dm Ar game
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a program used to regulate game playing.
+.Nm
+expects to be invoked with the name of a game that a user wishes to play.
+This is done by creating symbolic links to
+.Nm "" ,
+in the directory
+.Pa @gamesdir@
+for all of the regulated games.
+The actual binaries for these games should be placed in a
+.Dq hidden
+directory,
+.Pa @libexecdir@ ,
+that may only be accessed by the
+.Nm
+program.
+.Nm
+determines if the requested game is available and, if so, runs it.
+The file
+.Pa @dm_configfile@
+controls the conditions under which games may
+be run.
+.Pp
+The file
+.Pa @dm_nogamesfile@
+may be used to
+.Dq turn off
+game playing.
+If the file exists, no game playing is allowed; the contents of the file
+will be displayed to any user requesting a game.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.3 tahoe .
+.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
+Two issues result from
+.Nm
+running the games setgid
+.Dq games .
+First, all games that allow users to run
+.Ux
+commands should carefully
+set both the real and effective group id's immediately before executing
+those commands.
+Probably more important is that
+.Nm
+never be setgid anything but
+.Dq games
+so that compromising a game will result only in
+the user's ability to play games at will.
+Secondly, games which previously had no reason to run setgid and which
+accessed user files may have to be modified.
