So your system works ok if you just use the -ip flag on command line.
Problem mostly solved then.
Those patches are really not up to me anyway. I don't have long enough
beard for that job but i'm sure Valve got the hint as Milton is reading
the list.

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?

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. Removing this line from the hosts file correct the problem. I
am sure there is a better way of doing it by specifying an explicit IP on the
command line or something, but I haven't investigated it. I guess if you don't
specify the IP to listen on, then it does a name look up of your hostname for
the IP. In this case it chooses the loopback address so you can't talk to it
outside of the local machine.

So here are the relevant IPTables segments:
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:27960:27970
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpts:27960:27970
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:25030:25040

ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpts:26900:27050
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:26900:27050
So, I certainly have TCP/UDP 27015 open ... and these are the exact
rules from my last installation at my AMD server.
I'm still not sure what is going on with this. I was also looking
around online to try and figure out if I could tighten this down
(these rules were from when I forked 20 instances).

The only difference with those games is that there was a crash bug with
rcon for a while that was since fixed (I believe that it was attributed to
multiple rcon connections being active), and that those other sv_rcon_* vars
are hidden (they still exist and can be unhidden or otherwise manipulated
with mods (ie. sm_cvar).

Oh well, I can see there is a rcon_password cvar at least, but the other
important rcon related cvars are missing (like sv_rcon_minfailures,
sv_rcon_minfailuretime, sv_rcon_maxfailures, sv_rcon_banpenalty). Without
these it would'nt make any sense.
However, if I remember well the netcon was introduced first. Maybe this
rcon thing was added later. But if you say it's working for, than it
should, my mistake.
Rcon works fine in both L4D and L4D2.

Can you let me know the change release that removed rcon? I have been
using
it for a long time.
I'll check Ports open/closed, but i'm very sure the right Ports and
ranges
are open.

That's because there is no rcon in L4D2. You can try this netcon

So I've moved a server as a result of the SSE3 (pni flag) issue, but
ever
since the move I've had rcon issues:
] rcon status
Unable to connect to remote server (74.3.239.226:27015)
I'm wondering what I'm missing, because people are playing, and I'm
certainly connected. My local host seems to stall for about 2-3
seconds
when
trying an rcon command... then it gives that message. Am I missing
something?

The update seem to be server side only, yet it says:

a

I guess that change was not released then?

Yes, the counter-strike changes we not made public, if you still
want
them
(I suspect you will) keep the hlbeta command line option for
now.
Getting
the Counter-Strike changes public is next on the list.
