Thanks for the mirror --

You've got a bad re-direct, though:

One too many 'R's in fastmirror.   It's not speak like a pirate day until

Set the date back on your computer, install the software,

couple of questions --

why are you rebooting the machine?  Just to kill the hlds process?
There are better ways, and you won't lose connectivity during
the process..


Personally, i run hlds under screen so that I can always access its
console --  simply kill that screen session, and hlds will die
right along with it.

If you don't run under screen, hlds will not have a console to
write to, and will never start up correctly (IIRC) so you
probably want to do something like this:

exec /usr/bin/screen -c ~games/.screenrc -S HLcstrike
~games/half-life/HLcstrike

where HLcstrike is a shell script containing the commands that you use
to start it up.

My screenrc looks like this:

<-->8 cut here 8<--->
multiuser on
acladd admin1,admin2,games,root
startup_message off
scrollback   2000
bindkey \003 detach
bindkey \033 detach
detach
<-->8 cut here 8<--->

I like multi-user, so that any of my admins can attach to the
server and see what's going on.  You don't have to use it.

the two bindkeys set up control-c and escape to detach from screen,
and the final detach makes sure that any new screens auto-detach from
the parent.

Byron,

Check out GameTrakker :  http://games.gci.net/GT

It will work for any version of HL, and indeed, practially
any game out there.

RE: [hlds_linux] Re: [OT] Text editors

2002-09-11 Thread Leif Sawyer

ctrl-k, then H, will give you help. :-)

for vi:

 ZZ (quit and commit changes)
 [esc]:q  (quit)
 [esc]:q! (quit immediately, even if i've made changes)
 [esc]:wq  (write changes and quit)
 [esc]:wq!  (write changes and quit, overriding permissions (as allowed))


VI is just an extension of the ed  editor, (VIsual EDitor, see?) so
it uses the same command structure.

If you started using computer before full-screen capabilities, then
ed would have been your first (or edlin, for dos)  then VI becomes
a very natural progression.

RE: [hlds_linux] OT: Routing securely

2002-08-12 Thread Leif Sawyer

Well, not an easy task.  You can't route the packets.

What you _can_ do, is use NAT, network address translation.

NAT in combination with IP filtering will keep your boxes
from being completely on the internet, but still allow outside
users to connect.

There are quite a few caveats to doing this, check the FAQ.


*I don't do this for game servers.

I've not really used FAQ-o-Matic, but i'm sure it's pretty easy to figure
out.

Have fun filling it in, let me know if you run into problems.

Of course, I reserve the right to edit and delete off-topic/obscene stuff.

P.S., don't hack my box.  That'd be bad, m'kay?

These people should automatically be set to :nomail:

Or even unsubscribed.

I **hate** this.  there's absolutely no reason for this kind of
inane behaviour.  I see it on bugtraq all the time.  It's been
pretty nice on linux-kernel, because they do provide the above
