That's not particularly helpful. Mailinglist subscription doesn't work for me 
and the download section is outdated and has a broken link for the one file 
that interest me.

I really can't stress how much I want documentation. Reading the following 
from evenbalances site isn't really making me feel too cozy...
"PB Servers have an optional built-in mini http web server interface that 
allows the game server to be remotely administered via a web browser from 
anywhere over the Internet"

Now, I'm certain it isn't running now but I would still prefer to know what 
it's doing.

On a related paranoid note I'd also like to know what happens when pb 
auto-updates. Is it just hack definitions or dll/so's? The idea of 
automaticly downloading and executing code just doesn't sound particularly 
sexy to me. I didn't like Steam doing this for CS and would like to avoid 
that with CoD/pb, too. But maybe that's an issue I should take up with the pb 
mailinglist once it let's me subscribe.

Have a nice day
