That is a simple solution to the problem. However if you are a GSP or otherwise using TCAdmin like many do, there are some side issues that go along with setting a game server to use a limited access.

This was mainly a warning going out before anyone got completely hacked and lost access to their machines. -Lane -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Saul Rennison Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 5:03 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Eventscripts - Creating Windows Account If you run the server as a limited user, then it can't touch the registry or create other users... simple :/ Thanks, - Saul.
