I had a lot of fun playing this last night. Hopefully when the password issue gets sorted I'll be playing a lot more.
EDIT: To be specific, the issue I have is that after I exit and try to sign back in, I get a "wrong ID or password" message. If I reboot my comp, I get "cannot connect to server", unless I run iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 55.0.0.0 -j DNAT --to 72.14.189.207 as root in Terminal before starting the game, each time. TSO was kind enough to get in the console and set my password so I could log back in last night, but it seems it didn't stick.
I remember setting up Nethack had some bumps at first, too, so I'm sure this'll get sorted.
