Dear retiredsoldier
Plz say, how do u protect ur quakeIII Arena gameserver of hacking, i mean u have 2 run it from another user, then root, all my dedicated-servers runs like that, but i cant run q3 server with user privilages =(. Look at it:
Code:
[root@games games]# ls -al | grep q3
drwxr-xr-x 8 u_q3 gs_q3 4096 Sep 28 13:55 q3
[root@games games]#
Code:
[root@games games]# cd q3
[root@games q3]# sudo -b -u u_q3 ./q3ded
Q3 1.31 linux-i386 Dec 17 2001
----- FS_Startup -----
Sys_Error: Unable to create directory "/root/.q3a", error is Permission denied(13)
[root@games q3]#
Code:
[root@games q3]# pwd
/home/games/q3
[root@games q3]# cat /etc/passwd | grep q3
u_q3:x:504:505::/home/games/q3/:/sbin/nologin
[root@games q3]#
So, what i did wrong?
