When you send the password initially, the server sees you as an admin and allows rcon commands from you. Your client doesn't send the rcon password every time you send a command, and you don't need to retype it before every command.
Obviously the server resets it's admin list when the rcon list is reset. On Sat, Dec 10, 2011 at 2:11 PM, Brian <br...@doublejump.eu> wrote: > Thanks for the help guys, I will try what you suggest.
