[cod] Semi off topic: COD rentals

[Neil @ TWA Studios]

I thought I would give this symlink a try, but I'm missing something.

Followed the instructions on the site, but I've got the permissions
wrong somewhere.

I moved all the necessary UO files to /usr/local/games/mastercoduo

Chmodded the folder to 0444 and then selected the directories and
executables and chmodded them to 0555

I created a /home/coduopub and created symlinks to all the files except
the coduo_lnxded, the main dir, the pb dir, the games

I su - username  to kick off the startup script and I cannot execute the
coduo_lnxded

I'm tired and I'm missing something obvious. Would someone fill in the
blanks please?

I saw peeps doing exactly what you do there also.  But I found this site
where a guy was talking about symlinks:
http://gameadmins.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=27

Thought I'd give it a try and it works nice.

One thing I'm wondering is I keep seeing where peeps are limiting their
clients disk space.  Do you think they're using Disk Quotas for that?
