OK I have figured out a work-around for the problem on my servers that popped up with the latest patches. I havent figured out why, but I do have a work around. For now, linux servers might want to avoid using dom3 as the user that runs games. Having too many dom3 in the paths might confising it.
Anyway...
Good News
I will be re-opening both servers for new games. Keep an eye on
http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/blitz_chk.cgi later today or early tomorrow for some new games. And the return of the demo_only game. I might also be progressing toward offering more mid-sized games (10-player) and maybe even a large one (all nations of an era on a large map).
Bad News
In order to shift the games I will have to take them down and restart them as the new user. I will try to make it as quick a switch as possible so its down only a minute.
