Ahh. That kinda makes sense. I've always wondered if different programmers did it differently, and Valve never got around to making it consistent.
You know really makes my brain hurt? I've had the server running all day and at no time did it appear on the steam browser (AFAICT, anyhow). I forwarded port to a windows box, mapped a share to it, started it up. Appears on steam browser within ten seconds. Go back to linux box, put port back. Start server. Whammo, it appears on steam list, and is still there. Now that just isn't funny. The only thing I did was forward port 27015 to a windows box, and then back to the linux box.
