Erik,
FYI, I run two linux servers, and both have had the "kick everyone till i get
rebooted" bug after every VAC update except the last, and that was just because I was
running the test module. AFAIK, most everyone on this list has had similiar problems.

We're not sure exactly why this is happening on some servers. We're looking
into it.
This does not happen in most configurations.

Please think about what you're saying. Not everyone sits behind a desk
all day, and of those that do, not everyone has an open internet
connection with which to do as they please.
And even if you're in a perfect situation where you have a nice, fat,
unrestricted (no proxies/firewalls) pipe to your server at home/colo and
you're boss doesn't mind you dicking around with "extra-curricular
activities", how are you supposed to know a new security module has been
issued?
Listen, it's a bug that needs to be fixed. Granted, there have been
worse bugs before, but the vast majority of server operators aren't paid
to monitor those servers 24/7. Honestly, they shouldn't *need* to.
I'm sure "KnowHow" understands perfectly what rcon is and how it
works--and how it could be utilized in this situation.
