I'd definitely recommend the qstat route if you have the access to get qstat installed on the web server. Updating it is easy as you just have to install a new version of qstat instead of trying to find the author of some php you found on the net or trying to update it yourself. Also the class that

More likely there is nobody who has the job full time. Nick? Probably gets pulled away to work on other things like HL2 crunch time. It comes down to how much money are you willing to spend on tackling cheats? Valve must think it's not worth spending enough to do the best job they can. Which could

Could you get away with releasing an update for hl2.exe that removes the securom protection? That's what happened with Neverwinter Nights, they decided it was just too buggy so they removed it. Its pointless anyway seeing as you have to authenticate online. You say Vivendi forced you to add it to

The content servers could provide the server lists. Have the content servers provide them in order of ping from themselves. Seeing as your content server is chosen by the lowest ping this could provide a better solution, although admittedly not perfect. Valve are smart, I reckon they could figure

I think you misunderstood the post or perhaps I didn't make it clear. The issue isn't letting Valve or PunkBuster run code on a players PC. The issue is letting a server admin run any code they wish on a players PC. Not very smart seeing as anyone can start up their own server and wait for victims

RE: [hlds_linux] another crasher :(

The problem with that is that you're allowing a server op to run any code he wants on a players computer. I certainly wouldn't be happy about that, it could be a trojan or something else as nasty. The only way I could see this working would be to allow the use of a 3rd party data file with lists of
