The basic steps to run cs2d dedicated on your server:

Create a new user (https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-add-new-linux-user-account/ )
Switch to that user
Go to /home/username/ or ~
Upload cs2d files into a folder there
do "chmod +x cs2d_dedicated"
run cs2d using screen, tmux or similar

Don't use chmod 777 on more than one file ever. It completely disables all permission systems implemented in Linux. Only use root account when absolutely necessary, even then you should try to use sudo instead. Using root for anything allows for attackers to completely take over your system. CS2D definitely has some security issues that could be exploited to gain control over the user it's running on. In case of a new user just for cs2d, that's not too bad, in case of root it's bad.

And how do I lock the root ? Do I use "sudo passwd root" command and create a password that I won't ever need to type in and forget about it ?

Or is my 1st password I log in with root to run the server enough at this point ?



How do I switch to that user and create a folder in FileZilla ? I log in in PuttY with new username and password and it says "could not chdir to home directory" "No such file or directory"

@ CrazyPenguin: are u using ubuntu? if yes what version?

Doesn't matter, will suffice.

If you want to enable the root account again, use . This will prompt you for a new password.

Note that the root account is not technically disabled, it's just no longer available to login as root.

You may want to disable root login via SSH as well. This is something I always prefer to do after a new installation of any Linux OS.

Note: Please test that SSH is working correctly with your new user before disabling root login.

@ AtomKuh: Debian 7 32bit

@ Yates: How do I switch to another account ? I just created a username and password but can't login with that only can login with root

then you can log in to your new user

@ px20:



command not found

@ CrazyPenguin:

Can't you solve it yourself?

@ px20: I would not ask then





if you do it without last sudo it only displays

My bad, try this

Ok I transfered the files to /home/NAME/

And I logged in with new user and ran command



And it runs the server fine. Now am I set and can I lock my root account for good ? Will I be able to access my new user ?



does not do anything



by the way I still login in FileZilla with my root account and password is that ok ? Because home/New User is in there but not under root folder

@ CrazyPenguin:

why you need to lock root, when nohup runs without root access?

and yes that's how users work, /root/ folder is for root. And /home/NAME/ is for normal users.

because @ Yates: said its best to lock root for security reasons

The guy obviously knows about Linux OS
