R1Q2 Project

[XtremeBain]

I mentioned this on IRC previously but I decided I would address it here as well.
There is a client/server project that has been consistently under active development for some time now known as R1Q2.  From what I have seen this flavor of q2 has a really solid goal in providing security and performance enhancements from 3.21 as well as providing some really great features to the server admins.  I am hoping that maybe we can learn some lessons from this project and make some of the enhancements that are offered in r1q2 available for server administrators using the dp alpha releases to run servers.
In the mean time I'm going to start running a few different configurations of the server on linux and windows environments to be able to provide any advise or assistance to anyone who would like to start using this dedicated server over ncserver, a quiake2-3.21 or the pb2 standalone binary.

Let me know if there's any specific features you want from r1 in pb2.

when I ran a dp server on quake2 and not the linux standalone, i have been warned by someone that quake2 3.2 has some serious security leaks and that i HAVE TO use r1q2...  but yet i never used it.

Yeah that's true.  The standalone addresses all the very bad ones, r1q2's changelog looks very impressive in terms of the number of potential security issues that have gone patched.

I've patched everything I'm aware of, but that doesn't mean there are things that I'm not aware of.
