Re: [hlds_linux] VAC problem
VAC works on the other servers in my network. What differs these ones from the ones that work is that they're part of a server cluster with internet access behind a second router. They have public IP addresses. The servers themselves are accessible from the outside without problems, it's just VAC that won't start up. /Jonathan > Jonathan wrote: >> hello, i can't get VAC to work properly. >> >> i get the following message: >> >> version : 47/1.1.2.5/Stdio 3651 insecure (secure mode enabled, >> disconnected from Steam3) >> >> i tried reinstalling hlds like some posts suggested, but it didn't do me >> any good >> >> i have secure "1" in liblist.gam and i don't start the game with >> -insecure.. what else could be causing this? >> > Your connection to the Steam servers is probably failing. > > If you are versed in UNIX, you can use "strings" and "grep" to try > fishing out the hostnames (tip: they'll probably contain > valvesoftware.com) from all the .so files, then try "ping"ing these > servers, etc. etc. etc. If you're even more versed, you could use > tcpdump and/or ethereal to capture all the network communication the > dedicated server is doing and analyze it to find the problem. > > For starts, if you're not sure that your Internet connection is working > perfectly, try running a simple ping such as "ping google.com".

However, when running hldsupdatetool.bin, you've decided to agree to the following block of words: VALVE DOES NOT GUARANTEE CONTINOUS [sic], ERROR-FREE, VIRUS-FREE OR SECURE OPERATION AND ACCESS TO STEAM, THE STEAM SOFTWARE, YOUR ACCOUNT AND YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS(S) [sic].

[...] NEITHER VALVE [...] NOR THEIR AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE [...] FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE [...] INABILITY TO USE STEAM, YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS AND THE STEAM SOFTWARE [...] . This pretty much says that you can't hold Valve responsible for having answered "yes" to that one question when unpacking the self-extractor without reading what the license agreement says. (And even if you don't read it, you can pretty much bet that it will contain such a clause. Software licensing agreements simply do.) #2 The account used for my dedicated server is not FREE there are PAID packages on the account (Thought I needed to when I wanted to host condition zero server) You paid for the *game clients*, not for the *game servers*. There's a big fat gaping hole between the two. #3 Linux Distros (as you call them) all run off the same base engine. U N I X so what is the problem? 1. Not every UNIX is like every other UNIX. Try running the Linux dedicated server on Mac OS X or OpenBSD without emulation or translation. "If at first you don't succeed, you fail and the testing will be terminated." It just won't work. 2. Distro coders very often make changes to basic and the kernel. Apart from that, not every distro runs on the same version of a given library; in your case, this would probably be the glibc (GNU Library of C). I've had no problems running the most recent servers on either SUSE 10.1 or SLAX 5.18. See if Mandriva lets you run a system upgrade; maybe they've put up a newer glibc version. On the lighter side, thank you for getting back to me and explaining what this error means. I am very busy at the time so I will look into trying this solution sometime over the weekend when my server is not so busy Your server is busy?
