Jason: The update utility itself does not need root.
On the other hand, the ADMIN script i am using, needs it to. in theory..
But i just chowned the dirs in /root, and now i can use my user for this =)
Andrew: That is kinda what i did, but I used my own account for this. I will
be making another cs-admin-account for this to be done from.

Yea I've heard of it I run a dod server but it's on a windows 2000 advance
server. I'm surprised it is requiring root. Are you sure it needs root
according to the Linux docs?

Jason: Its called "steam" its the steam server update utility...
Andrew: The CS-server itself works perfectly as root.. its the update
utility that doesn work as root.. But i chowned the folders inside /root,
to
my user. and that way it works.. but i still thinks its sucky

It requires that due to the main files are to be stored in the /root
directory, and so that normal users cant add warservers,public
servers, and stop/start servers =)

Why does it require that? Perhaps it's a bit dodgy :)

I am trying to run the steam binary as root,
but i get this:
"Checking bootstrapper version ...
Segmentation fault"
Does anyone know what could be wrong?
I know this isnt probably the right mailinglist,
but i hope someone knows

This is the Windows Mailing list, you need to join the Linux one,
but seriously, I wouldn't recommend running HLDSUpdateTool, Steam or
HLDS or SRCDS themselves as root as this can cause serious problems
and security issues!
