[cod] Screen problem

[Steven Hartland]

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
