Can assure you, no matter what account i use it comes back with an invalid username and password.

Don't use root.
try running ./steam update or ./steam -update

Using root to run services like srcds or hlds is a security risk.

also, if your servers are in the same ~/ ($HOMEDIR) then run rm -rf ~/.steam

Otherwise you'll just get hlds

Thanks for the reply cryotek

I know not to run the server as root

The problem was the update.

I used a cs update instead of the one reccomended to download, and it worked.

Download updated Steam and rerun your commandline to update or start server if that works.

./steam -command update -game "counter-strike source" -dir /usr/steam/ -username myusername -password mypassword -remember_password

-username, -password, and -remember_password arguments are no longer used or needed.
