I am running a Counter Strike server on a 4.7 FreeBSD box, and I recently got it all working running as a normal user (had been running as root). The game is installed in a users' homedir and eventually I will be revoking login rights to the user in question to furthur minimize risk. To do this, I need to be able to run the scripts as the user instead of whoever is logged in as. The structure of the scripts is like this: master script (start stop, public private args) | run_hlds wrapper script ( command line args for hlds_run ) | hlds_run ( Valve prog ) All three of the above scripts are owned by the isolated user and have been chmod'ed to 6755. When I log in as a different user and try to run the scripts, I get permission issues and am unable to fire off the game server. What I need is to be able to run it on demand as the isolated user like a crontab entry. Any ideas on what I am missing? TIA
