Hi,

I got the Linux MOHAA server up and running without problems. It is
reachable, is announces and all. Perfect :)

Until I installed it on my game server.... For security reasons I run
all my game servers under the user id "game". This user has no password
assigned and (in this case important) has no home directory set.
When I run the linux server under that user it refuses to start at all.
The log:

=============== snipsnipsnip ==============
bash-2.05$ ./mohaa_lnxded +set net_ip my.eye.pee +set net_port 12203
+set dedicated 1 +exec map.cfg

Medal of Honor Allied Assault 1.11 linux-i386 Jul 15 2002
----- FS_Startup -----
Error: Unable to create directory "-/.mohaa", error is Permission denied(13)
=============== snipsnipsnip ==============

It tries to create a $HOME/.mohaa directory and it refuses to start
without it. When a writable(!) home directory is assigned it does work
without problem of course.
Want me to file an official bug report? ;)

Greetings,
Eric.
