I added root to games group in /etc/group but something isnt right. It cannot find "et" when I try to run it. Other two regular users added the same way can run "et" from shell just fine. I can go into the folder and run ./et from there under root just fine. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how it works with the group games, but I guess the theory behind it is that it would add et's directory in an users' PATH. Perhaps you could edit /etc/env.d/00basic, manually add the path (/opt/et?) and do an env-update as a turn around.

You need to add /usr/games/bin to root's path.
