I am my own host. I'm one of the few that actually runs the servers, both software AND physical ;)
The srcds servers, their files and everything else pertaining to them (short of pid's if I used them, which I don't) are all owned by the same user, created with default permissions (and not modified) and are all located within that user's home directory. I can honestly say 100% that short of there being some sort of issue with my operating system discriminating against VALVe software that there is a bug in logging, that I can at least prove with L4D if not TF2 and other srcds based games ;) Crazy Canucks wrote: > What about the folder that your L4D server is in, and the folder that > folder is in, and so on until you hit root?
