At this point if nothing changes I'm sure we will see many people
running it as root in order to achieve better performance without having
to modify a clean centos /debian install
Are you stuck in the Tardis or something?
Every other post you say "if you run as root it messes with the system",
then in the next post you say "running as root creates better performance"
Both cannot be true.
But either way, if you want the calls to succeed or not succeed, you
don't have to run at root and Valve don't have to change the code.
pam_limits and rtprio may be your friend.
I take it you have no actual data or experience to show one way or the
other whether it's better with or without?
Try this experiment with your server.
1. Boot into centos or debian
2. Start TF2.
3. Stand in front of a mirror with your hands by your side
4. lift your left arm
4a. start talking about the server performance
4b. drop your left arm back to your side and, at the same time, lift
your right
4c.talk more about server performance.
5. Repeat steps in 4-4c, gradually increase the volume of your talking
and the speed of the hand movement
Now you should have a better idea what hand-waving about server
performance looks like.
