Thanks. That seema to be a useful add on. I have set it up per the included
instructions. When I start the script I get :
Starting echowall..ipchains: Device or resource busy
.Warning: wierd character in interface '!lo' ( No aliases, :, ! or *).
Warning: wierd character in interface '!lo' ( No aliases, :, ! or *).
...Done
Services enabled:
QUAKE on <192.168.1.10>.
UNREAL on <192.168.1.10>.
HLIFE on <192.168.1.10>.
When I start a dedicated Quake2 or Quake3 server I am unable to connect.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Kory
