Loggin in with accounts
Hi All,
I have been playing around with setting up my own server this week. I am new to EQEMU but so far have been very impressed. I do have to say that the guides I have used are excellent and any problem I have encountered I was able to troubleshoot by searching the boards. I won't name names for fear of missing someone so thanks to all for the impressive collection of knowledge. I have one remaining item that I cannot find a resolution for and a quick question.
Currently I have the server and client on the same system. I am able to log into the game, create toons, kill stuff and all other fun things. The issue I have is that no matter what I use as an account ID and PW, it always logs in as the first account in the account table. I can even type in garbage and it will still use the first account. Has anyone ever encountered this before or have an idea why it happens? I suspect it may be just checking the IP address column for verification but have not proven or disproven it.
My question is simply for advice. I am going to build a server and open it to some family and friends up and down the east coast. It just amounts to a handful of people. I have read through the guide to do it and it seems straightforward. I am looking for suggestions in terms of security. I have seen some people such as cavedude hosting out of what seems to be their homes. Do they have the public servers on a DMZ while running multiple firewalls or is it a basic setup with the one router and all systems behind it with the ports open and forwarding enabled? I am just being cautious.
Thanks all!
