I'd rather not chmod the users tty. I have other admins that I give ssh access to as well, and I do lock it down quite a bit as well.
I create a user for each game. I then create a folder for each server and either symlink the data to save space and time, or just copy the data. Then I run the screens and have them cron'd under one user. Then users can login to the account, attach using screen -rd server1 or whatever the name is. Works well for me and when left alone crashes don't really occur. Also, I don't run just HLDS or L4D server specifically. There also bf2 cod4 to worry about which don't have netconnect ports and their own daemons like BF2CC. So depending screen will either work or not.
