As the linux kernel README says, Never take the name of root in vain.
It is easy and simple to run HLDS as a separate user. Sure, you may only
have HLDS on the box, but that doesn't make it good security policy.

the machine but a web server, and through the combination of it
running as root (unlikely) and a misconfiguration or summat,
it's just as easy to break into as a machine
Yeah, man...that's what gets me down sometimes. I work for a software
company (not a developer, myself), and sometimes you end up talking to
some net admin that's trying to run your server software but is adamant
about NOT opening any more ports than are *absolutely necessary* on the
