My company built a killer CS game server but really don't have any interest/knowledge to admin it. We put it up in our data center so we can play on it when things are quiet at work.

The server is a Quad Opteron with 4 GB of ram on a gig backbone pipe to the internet. It's running FreeBSD 5.4 and is currently set to allow 60 players.

We are looking for someone who has spare time to get players onto the server by setting it up with stats and other custom stuff we see on other servers. You can have rcon and root access to the server.


Thanks!

I can help :), (as in not doing it alone ;)). I've been an admin for a few game server boxes in the past.

No big deal to me. The server is in our data center under my control. Nothing else runs on it. If it were to be abused I can just pull it

I don't know much about it but I wouldn't mind helping out. I've run dedicated servers on my own PCs and had folks join but never ran mods etc.

I should say it Quad DUAL core opterons, 32 virtual CPUs. 4GB of ram, max 16GB

How many IP's is the box gonna have? Those CPU's will be under utilized without more ram. You could run a LOT more then just a few cstrike servers... especially if you give it more ram.
