OK, removing local reference is absolutely not an option; this fundamentally breaks Debian OSes in many other areas. Hosts must have a localhost reference for 127.0.0.1 and should have a hostname reference for 127.0.1.1; as it should be for Debian.
Your theory is indeed correct - however removing that line isn't the fix... this is a bug but a fix is present: Intel server :~$ netstat -na | grep 27015 tcp 0 0 127.0.1.1:27015 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:27015 0.0.0.0:* AMD server :~$ netstat -na | grep 27015 tcp 0 0 216.93.189.28:27015 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN udp 0 0 216.93.189.28:27015 0.0.0.0:* The difference between the systems was ultimately hinged on the start line. The AMD server required the -ip flag because it has multiple IPs allocated to it, however my Intel system didn't have multiple IPs, thus removed the flag. This resulted in a local hostname bind instead of a public interface bind (bug). After adding the -ip flag, the binding appears to be correct now: :~$ netstat -na | grep 27015 tcp 0 0 74.3.239.226:27015 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN udp 0 0 74.3.239.226:27015 0.0.0.0:* Thanks for that catch... it didn't occur to me that the server would bind the tcp port to an IP where it shouldn't have. I would have thought that if the UDP port bound to global (0.0.0.0), that the TCP port would have done the same; this should be patched. Can this minor flaw be submitted for patch ICS? ~Brian On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 09:37, Milton Ngan <[email protected]> wrote: > I have seen an issue on Ubuntu where the /etc/hosts files contains a line > like this: > > 127.0.1.1 myhostname.valve.net myhostname > > On machines that have this, the rcon is limited to listening on the loopback > (127.0.0.1) only.
