-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Bumping this because I still have not found a solution :(
I have even tried connecting a non-customized vanilla-2.6.12 box directly to the internet without any firewall / routing, with no luck. By non customized, I mean nothing fancy to the kernel. No pax, no grsecurity, no optimizations, etc. Perhaps someone would be willing to send me their kernel .config ? I really wish I could run a HLDS linux server, lol. - Rick On 4/20/06, Alfred Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > A function call to SteamGetEncryptionKeyToSendToNewClient() inside the > libSteamValidation_i386.so failed.
