Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3889

User Story

Following the instructions at https://linuxgsm.com/servers/sbserver/

After running ./sbserver install steamCMD fails password authentication.

Basic info

Distro: Ubuntu 20.04
Game: Starbound
Command: sbserver install
LinuxGSM version: v22.1

Further Information

The issue appears to be specifically when trying to do the install with the credentials stored inside lgsm/config-lgsm/sbserver/common.cfg
The username appears to enter correctly and you receive an error regarding the password.

I can use these same credentials from steamCMD itself. As a work around, I found that it does work if you enter the steamuser and steampass into the instance's config instead, ie. lgsm/config-lgsm/sbserver/sbserver.cfg

Troubleshooting Attempted

To hopefully help narrow things down, I...

Tried both single and double quotes with the same results
Successfully logged into steamCMD and the Steam website with the same credentials
Disabled SteamGuard (Email)
Used a password without special characters
Reinstalled steamCMD after adding the multiverse repository for Ubuntu 64-bit (according to steamCMD's documentation)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Enter steamuser and steampass credentials into the common.cfg
Run ./sbserver install

Expected behaviour

Running the install without having entered Steam credentials into the instance's configuration should fail-over to the common.cfg, which it appears to be doing, but not properly including the steampass variable.

@dgibbs64 this does fail it requires steam guard which linuxgsm completely skips and doesn't let us enter the code
