Everything with a setuid/setgid should be viewed with suspicion.

Most of those security bugs have been found by using http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/ for fuzzing the config parser of NetHack.

Also read the hilarious account how neglecting the integer range of parsing a number lead to a config that gives you an almost invincible character from the start:

Nethack is great, is there a server where people can watch someone play the game and have a (audio) chat while watching?

There's so much stuff to learn, I'd love to chat with an experienced players while they are venturing deeper into the dungeons.

Check it out:

    ssh nethack@alt.org

EDIT: no audio, obviously, but you can send mail to players you're spectating

alt.org has online nethack play via telnet:

There might be some Twitch streams, but I am not sure.
