Through the HLDS mailing list, Eric Smith has announced that the Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) beta security module has been updated yet again. The update fixes the bug that allowed banned players to reconnect to secured servers:We've updated the beta security modules again. These beta security modules should fix the problems some Linux servers have been having with clients being able to reconnect after they have been kicked/banned by the security modules.
1) This beta test is only for Counter-Strike servers...not Day of Defeat.
2) The password for the beta security modules is still "vactest", so make sure you have...
-testmodule vactest
...in your command line and restart your server. If you're already running with the beta security module password in your command line, your server should update itself.
3) We haven't heard of any problems with the Linux beta server we released earlier this week. If you haven't already downloaded/installed it, you should consider doing so. This beta version should fix the problems some servers have been experiencing when we update the security modules. The Win32 version *does not* seem to have the same problem.

All you need to do is download the file and replace your old one. It's always a good idea to back-up your old version first. Clients using 1.1.1.0/1.0.0.5 should not have any problems connecting to your server. Let me know if you have any problems with the beta security modules and we'll look into them right away.
Thanks.
