group permission & nethack

[Rick Hawkins <rhawkins@iastate.edu>]

I know i've solved this problem before, but . . . 

I"m trying to run nethack.  however, i get repsonses to hte effect of 

No write permission to lock /var/lib/games/nethack/perm!

checking the permissions,

   0 -rw-rw-r--   1 root     games           0 May 27 02:02 logfile
   0 -rw-rw-r--   1 root     games           0 May 27 02:02 perm
   0 -rw-rw-r--   1 root     games           0 May 27 02:02 record
   1 drwxrwxr-x   2 root     games        1024 May 27 02:02 save

And I did add myself to group games (though i'm pretty sure i didn't
have to do this last time).

Am i missing something?
