The -nomaster problem was never fixed back in one of the major updates at the end of 08 when the appid's changed. The -nomaster switch served two very good purposes, IMO.
1. Private client services were harder to find to rcon hack attempt, ddos or any other exploit out there (which we used for all of our private clients and, most especially, when we sponsored some of the top teams in the world to prevent interruptions during important matches) 2. Served as an extra means of insuring a client did not use their private service in a public manner. Even if they disabled the password, the server would never show up on the master list and would be pretty useless. Would be nice to see it come back but I'm not holding my breath. After about a week of waiting, I hand-edited every current HL1 private service we offered to remove -nomaster due to all of the complaints. All new installs no longer utilize -nomaster as well.
