It's not like that information is secret or anything, anyone who wants to 
find out will find out.

 Already there is a HL2 online exploit...someone from what I can gather
 can basically get a warez type release of the game and crack it so
 that they can play online without a valid steam id or some description
 like that.

 As a game admin - this could be an issue, especially with banning...etc...

 Here is a copy of the NFO regarding how to apparently do this. I have
 not tested this out and i do not intend for anyone else to either. I
 would like Valve to investigate this and patch it ASAP.

I'm not convinced posting the workaround here is very helpful. It
would have been far better to mail Alfred directly first. Now a lot
more people know about the exploit.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server list

[Brandon Hardy]

That'd be a good idea, but how is the master server going to know which
server has the best ping time for the client

 I don't understand why it's such a complicated issue.  Why aren't
 servers just sorted by default to the servers whch have the best *ping*
 from the client?
