Steven, By username I mean a linux username for a linux user.
If I try to run the server as a user with the first letter of the username capitalized the server crashes. However if I then change that user's username and switch to that user and attempt to launch the server again it works fine. For example, if I have a user "Robin" whose l4d2 server is crashing, and I change his username to "robin" and switch ownership of all of "Robin" files to "robin" (so we are dealing with exactly the same files and directory structure in both cases) then "robin" is able to start a l4d2 server just fine. This is regardless of if the server is vanilla (fresh download from steam even), or has mods. I have done this serveral times on different machines to the same effect.
