Hello,
I have steam only servers, Linux hosted, I'm using nano /etc/rc.local to start servers on reboot, And it starts servers as root, How to start them as "Steam" i added user called steam and added password for it before i install server with steamcmd, Also i should upload files to ftp with steam user not root right ?
Btw, I searched i didn't find answer for this questions..
Thanka

I'm using centos 6.5
This is right ?

PHP Code:

sudo -u steam cd /home/steam/steamcmd/27015
sudo -u steam ./hlds_run -game cstrike -master -secure -autoupdate -pingboost 2 +ip 95.172.92.152 +port 27015 +maxplayers 32 +hpk_maxsize 1 -debug -console -noaff -sys_ticrate 1000 +sv_lan 0 +map de_dust2 &

sudo -u steam cd /home/steam/steamcmd/27016
sudo -u steam ./hlds_run -game cstrike -master -secure -autoupdate -pingboost 2 +ip 95.172.92.152 +port 27016 +maxplayers 11 +hpk_maxsize 1 -debug -console -noaff -sys_ticrate 1000 +sv_lan 0 +map de_dust2 &

sudo -u steam cd /home/steam/steamcmd/27019
sudo -u steam ./hlds_run -game cstrike -master -secure -autoupdate -pingboost 2 +ip 95.172.92.152 +port 27019 +maxplayers 12 +hpk_maxsize 1 -debug -console -noaff -sys_ticrate 1000 +sv_lan 0 +map de_dust2 & 


Edit: Btw, What about files ? Should i add metamod and amx with steam user too on ftp ??

[Mordekay]

It can cause problems uploading files as root because your steam user can be unable to modify existing files (log files for example)
So it would be the best to install everything as steam user.

[fysiks]

If you've already installed them as the root user, you should be able to change the owner and group of all the files to "steam".

[Mordekay]

chown -R user dir (or vise versa. don't remember, to long ago)

Yeah i forgot about this.

chown and chgrp for owner and group respectively. Google can figure out the order of the parameters (or the actual manual if someone is familiar with the using the linux documentation).

Owner = Steam
But group still root.. it's important i mean i need to make it steam too ? how ?
i used: chown -R steam /home/steam/
And about start, It will start as steam now right ?
Thanks for everything btw..
EDIT: server didn't start, Why you don't answer my question ? Your posts are just like useless, Say yes it's right or say it's wrong and tell me what's right, Or say we don't know just !

What is the error message? You aren't giving us much information. I've never used rc.local to start stuff for individual users, I've always used cron
