		+	== Unix ==
		+
		+	I've changed the Unix section to something which more closely resembles the situation with 3.6.0, and to tidy it up a bit (as I see it). Some of the things I've done are:
		+	* Remove the reference to Debian/Ubuntu, as there are other Linux distributions which include a version of NetHack in which root has access to wizard mode.
		+	* Treat sudo+shell escape as being dangerous by itself, as it circumvents the "sudo commands are logged" thing.
		+	* Add a description of the sysconf file added in 3.6.0 (although I understand that this wasn't its first appearance).
		+	* Put macOS (the newest name for Mac OS X, apparently) in a separate section, because I have no idea if anything else in the UNIX one is relevant to it.
		+
		+	I don't know a lot about sudo or macOS, and haven't tried the gdb one as I'd need to recompile NetHack first to get a copy with debug symbols. [[User:Hoanwan\|Hoanwan]] ([[User talk:Hoanwan\|talk]]) 02:55, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

 Has anyone ever tried this fun little nugget? Does it work on any system? I don't know but... If you ^G multiple quest nemeses, they drop Bells of Opening... then, when you pick up a second one, the messages are "already have silver bell?--More--" "Program in disorder - perhaps you'd better #quit." Does have any place in either the Bell of Opening or Wizard mode article? [[User:Aeronflux|Aeronflux]] 16:09, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

 How the heck do I get into wizard mode on windows for the graphics version of nethack? Keep in mind I know very little about computers so make your explaination idiot proof. I don't understand how to start the game with the command neccesary to enter wizard mode.

+Yes it appears that doing this will hide any object (stairs, fountain, sink, altar, etc). Fortunately the stairs will still be there, you just won't be able to see them and you won't get a message that they are there, but if you trying going > or < you will be able to. This only works for stairs, if you try to quaff from where there was a fountain you won't be able to. Again, we are lucky that you cannot use a wand of digging or a pick axe to dig into stairs in a normal game. [[User:Rockstar7514|Rockstar7514]] 23:21, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
