Run TF2 ds not as root + multiple servers

[prevail]

Hi!

Just have some quick questions

1. How can i execute ./srcds_run not being root? I tried with my normal user, but i got permission denied (to orangebox dir). Can someone please guide me through?

2. I have currently installed one TF2 server which is running now and then (because i don't like running a service as root). If i wish to install two more TF2 server, how can i do this without f*** things up (the one i got)?

Thanks in advance!

PS: Had a error free install thanks to this forum, thnx!

Hi!

Damn, i installed the TF2 server as root , but this could be fixed without reinstalling it, right?
Now i remember why i installed it as root, because when i tried to create a dir i got permission denied.. I guess i forgot to switch back afterwards :S

Can someone please help me out ? I've tried looking for answers at steam and by using google..
