If you run game servers as root its just a matter of time before it gets
hacked. It may not be an important box but they will use it to either: get
to others, yours or someone else's. So its important that its secured not
matter how important it seems to you. Im sure you also pay for bandwidth in
one way or another and when it gets hacked and used as a warez ftp site or
similar you will be hit with a big bill which is never nice.

Conclusion DON'T run game servers as root or you and others will pay for it
if you do u might as well use telnet with a root password of password for
all the good ssh is doing you.

Its not a important box (apart from gaming needs!!)....I run 2 public
servers from it and nothing else so even if it does get hacked, im not that
fussed....anyways, ssh has been restricted to 2 ip addresses
