    [SOLVED] Help with Linux DS and red icon

    Hi guys,

    This problem is driving my crazy lately...

    In a nutshell, I have the latest Linux DS beta (1.60.93616) up and running, everything is just fine (meaning I can connect and play any mission) except that it's showing up with a bloody red icon in the game browser even though I'm not using any addons or betas on my client. The logs show no problems, either.

    Interestingly, if I specify the IP directly it shows up with a green dot (LAN method). Also, there are no special FW/iptables rules restricting TCP/UDP access to the server that I'm aware of.

    First of all, I would like to know if everybody else is seeing my server with a red dot in order to exclude a problem with my client. You can filter for "ArmA2 Combined Ops test server".

    This is a Combined Ops installation and I'm using content that I've uploaded and verified using md5deep. The ArmA2 content is located in directory "arma2" from where the folders "addons" and "dta" are symlinked inside the server home which looks like this:

    Recursive content listing of "expansion"

    This is my server.config:

    And finally the arma2oaserver startup script:

    What am I missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Might have something to do with keys. Recheck those. Had the same problem and I think I solved it by checking serverroot/keys.

    Also OTHERPARAMS="-mod=expansion;ca" is not necessary. It will work without it, so try it.

    checkfiles[] = {}; // is outdated and not used, so remove it.

    regularCheck = "{}"; //enable that for security reasons if you're running public server.

    onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)"; // unsigned data detected
    onHackedData = "kick (_this select 0)"; // tampering of the signature detected
    onDifferentData = ""; // data with a valid signature, but different version than the one present on server detected

    Thumbs up

    Indeed, it was a problem with the keys!!! Thank you so much for pointing me into the right direction!

    But it took my hours to figure out which ones out of my ~100 installed bikeys were causing this.... So far I managed to identify six-jtd.bikey and cba_v0-8-3.bikey, both are causing the server to appear with a red dot regardless of the context (e.g. even with no add ons, verifySignatures=1/2 etc.).

    I guess there are probably a lot more.... I will try to report them here if I find them.

    Again, thanks a lot _MaSSive!
