    I wasn't in the games group, but even if I put myself in (and, *yes*
    logging again) it remains unworking.

    I'll check the permissions later, when I have more time on my hands ...

    I consider fortune to be the most important unix app ever written but
    fortunately I can do my boring work without it.
