Really? Tell me, please, what VAC stands for.

From what we gathered in the many years of running secure HL1 & HL2 servers is, VAC is just a detection and reporting tool. If VAC detects a certian signature from a hack running while their client is running it reports it to the secure center where it is investigated then the steamid of the user is placed on a global ban list which prevents these hacker and cheaters from playing in SECURE servers for one full year. These players are also known as "VAC Banned Players." As for your issue there was a serious problem with a few of the earlier version of the HLDS that they call Stdio Builds. It appears as if the server you are having issue with is too far out of date to handle the changes in the VAC module. Add the -autoupdate to the launch of the server and let them update accordingly. You may have to reupdate your steam as many changed to the ./steam module have evolved when it comes to the updating process which appears is what happened to your old troubled server of v1.1.2.5/Stdio 3213. We used to have very many VAC issues with the version of 3421 and had to revert back to an older version of 3327.
