Scott, I have noticed this problem on my server also. In fact, I have noticed this problem from my client when I attempt to connect to other servers! The problem is related to the client, not the server. The client needs to logout of steam and then back in, then all is well.
I have several accounts (my whole family plays) and I think the steam servers get nervous every once in a while and just "flake" the auth for the user, forcing them to sign back in. Hope this helps.

Reason: Error verifying STEAM UserID Ticket(server was unable to contact the suthentication server). Why do my servers get this error every once in a while. The only solution it seems is to reboot the whole server box. Does anyone else get this? EDIT: I went into the machine with vnc to reboot it. And one of the source servers had crashed. I clicked the ok button and then all of the hlds servers worked again. Very odd behavior. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
