[mohaa] Possible CDKEY issues

[Salsich, Luke]

ok, now some of my Clan members are starting to report this issue to me. How
do we get around this? Is it happening to people with valid CD keys (sounds
like it from this list), or just bootleg keys? 

Is there a way to instruct my server to no contact the gamespy cd servers?

Seems that GameSpy is rejecting them, but I don't know what the criteria
for rejection is. When a client connects to your server, the server talks
to GameSpy's CD key servers. If GameSpy tells your server not to authorize
that user, the user is kicked.

If your server can't connect to GameSpy's cdkey servers, the player is
given the benefit of the doubt and is allowed to play.
