OK, I can confirm that rcon works now with the updated -ip flag. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 1:04 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 - unable to rcon
So your system works ok if you just use the -ip flag on command line. Problem mostly solved then. Those patches are really not up to me anyway. I don't have long enough beard for that job but i'm sure Valve got the hint as Milton is reading the list. -ics 27.9.2011 20:42, Brian Menges kirjoitti: > OK, removing local reference is absolutely not an option; this > fundamentally breaks Debian OSes in many other areas.

Removing this line from the hosts file correct the problem. I am sure there is a better way of doing it by specifying an explicit IP on the command line or something, but I haven't investigated it. I guess if you don't specify the IP to listen on, then it does a name look up of your hostname for the IP. In this case it chooses the loopback address so you can't talk to it outside of the local machine. >> >> M. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Brian Menges >> Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 8:50 AM >> To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list >> Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 - unable to rcon >> >> So here are the relevant IPTables segments: >> >> ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:27960:27970 >> ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpts:27960:27970 >> ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:25030:25040 >> ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpts:25030:25040 >> ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpts:26900:27050 >> ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:26900:27050 >> >> So, I certainly have TCP/UDP 27015 open ... and these are the exact >> rules from my last installation at my AMD server. >> >> I'm still not sure what is going on with this.
