And since its UDP I dont think theres any handshaking involved. good point brad (check out the brains on brad! :) since it's UDP even the "circle of trust" that i suggested in my original post would be useless. this kind of thing should be done via tcp with a handshake requirement. accident and i were talking about building a global ban database system late last year, and it got really complicated really fast. but the basic idea was that only TRUSTED servers would be allowed to add to the global ban list, this trust was "verified" by ip (over tcp) and a handshake to prevent spoofing, and there were some serious requirements to becoming trusted. ~j aka bp _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
