Wasn't me, honest!

Try checking the logs. That may tell you why its crashing. 		segfault (655)

You can enable this feature, but it's extremely poor security practice. Even SSH as root isn't good. 		whiskeytangofoxtrot (438)
246552 2004-06-22 23:53:00 Actually, Ive got a box that I only use as a server, and its got no other User logins except root (And the ftp, jabberd etc logins).

For day-to-day use, sure its bad practise to stay as root, but for a server you should technically have a "user' with root powers and then disable the root account.

Look into ssh, rather than telnet. Its more secure (But if its just over a LAN there's not much to worry about) and you can do things like X forwarding!

Run:
service sshd start
to start sshd

Then goto Google and search for:
Putty download

Get Putty.exe (Its a telnet client as well as an ssh client!) and use it to ssh into your Fedora box :-)

And anyways, to check the logs, try this after the app has just segfaulted:
tail -n 20 /var/log/messages

Hope this helps

246555 2004-06-23 09:48:00 Ok putty is awesome.

But Uh the log thing doesnt show me any problems that I can see.

I ran the program (which happens to be hlds_l_3111_full.bin , the Valve Steam dedicated server), and straight after the problem came up, I checked the logs.

Here they are :D
