It is true that you can hide what you are doing from w(1)
by creating a symbolic link. There is a problem with that
if you interested in having no one know that you are playing
rogue.
Even wth the symbolic link, *rogue* still shows up in lastcomm.
What I have done is to create a directory in /usr and created a hard
link from there to /usr/games/rogue. Now, *rogue* will not even appear
in lastcomm.
We often use either *j* or *readnews* as the linked file.
