[hlds_linux] Restart issues
After coming in to work this morning, noticing about the VAC update and checking and seeing that my servers had infact kept running but fallen out of secure mode, I attempted a restart. Now this is all I am getting. [EMAIL PROTECTED] counterstrike1.5]# ./run Using Pentium II Optimised binary. Auto-restarting the server on crash Console initialized. Protocol version 46 Exe version 3.1.1.1 Exe build: 21:45:40 Jun 5 2003 (2415) Timed Out. Im presuming that this is related WON? I have a route to the won servers and no firewall rules have changed.

In this case the server needs to have your password while you join (not after it) and that is why you have to set it in the client's setinfo buffer. The suggested method to do this is to create a file in your dod directory (on the cient!), e.g. adminpass.cfg. Put the setinfo line into that file, add a shortcut to your desktop for DoD and add the following to the target: +exec adminpass.cfg +connect 192.168.2.1 Hmmm... When I do that, it still doesn't work. I have a file called 'autoexec.cfg' in the dod directory. I cannot get it to execute. I have a autoexec.cfg file for a Linux DoD server and it works fine. You may want to add some diagnostic output to the file which will be displayed in your server console to check if it is executed. You can find an eample in the stock adminmod.cfg file. Oh, the autoexec.cfg file is on the client side. I enter the setinfo manually I can authenticate, but I'd prefer to use crypted passwords, and those can be tough to remember. The encrypted password goes into the users.ini file. It is encrypted so that noone can snoop it from the file. That, of course, is only a minor protection since bad passwords can be cracked within a few minutes with John and friends. Yeah, most of that--after all I do Unix Admin for a living. It'd be a lot better if they'd use MD5 based hashes, but hell, it's only a game... The client uses plaintext passwords. You don't log into a unix machine with the encrypted password either, do you? :) I said that as a joke. See, the adminpass file, if it contains the encrypted password makes *that* file as risky as the users.ini file on the server--maybe even more so because it's on a *really* insecure NT box. However *this* NT box is more secure because it's behind a firewall, and has no inbound services routed to it (and i use it only for games and SSH at this point) so it's fairly secure. (2) how do I set the server to automatically log? I cannot find the instructions for this. The command is log on. The best place is the autoexec.cfg file. Do not put it into the server.cfg file since that will mess up your logging. If your autoexec.cfg file doesn't work, then you can add it to the commandline with +log on. Fuck me raw. Creating the autoexec.cfg file on the server (in dod) and putting log on in it worked a fucking charm. Now I've got output in the logfiles. Thanks. One problem down. Florian.

I would recommend scrapping the encrypted password idea, and using wonid authentication without any password. Simply do not enter a password in each line in your users.ini file. It is only necessary to use name/password authentication for users who share a computer with someone else. Dave Sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. See, that is insufficiently paranoid.
