hehe, yeah, no bots yet. I need to figure out how to run metamod and such on the linux box there. But it will be running with all kinds of bots one day, i think :S
Well anyway of that I think that is not good idea to run the servers with the root account because I had seen many exploits that crash up the Valve servers and give you shell access with the user that the servers are started so better create a normal user account and put the servers there.
Well, i thought first it was for sudoers to launch the server. But the sudoers file is messed up. So you can't do anything with sudo. I don't know if that will solve anything, but then again a lot relies on Onno or Nova to fix up a few things. I hope they will, soon, but i have no idea how they are with their time and such.
