I'm pretty sure there's an option in TCAdmin to block certain cvars
from being used... at least, it can send angry emails and shut down
servers for not having a password set for a 'private' server. You might
be able to set it up to look for something in addition to sv_password?

I think the reason they need an admin account is so that they are able

Yeah, I would imagine there is some sort of ipchain/iptables magic that

If you are not running HiResTimer or srcdsfpsboost, then you are not

The only other things I could see you wanting to do would be adding the

At the very least I think Valve should at least provide some additional

If these attacks are coming from ips that are outside of the range of
your standard users' network range, then it's possible you could filter
out requests from unallocated ip blocks and ip blocks from areas of the
internet that are gnerally too far away to have decent latency on your

Still the significance of the 'Friday Update' is misplaced, here, as for
the part of the world that has advanced into Friday before the United

If they release a broken update on Friday in the United States, then we

That's a unique side effect of the L4D client not allowing you to
