Correct. That is what I'm saying. Note that bans are not removed by execing a banned.cfg whose contents are a subset of the current banned list. To speak in mathematical jibberish...upon execution of "exec banned.cfg", the set of all bans is equal to the union of the set of currently banned users and the set of users contained in the banned.cfg. The only way to remove bans from the banned.cfg file through rcon is to remove bans from the current list of bans and then to writeid (or wait until your server restarts and writeid). If your current list of bans is empty, then your banned.cfg will be empty.
If you change your firing order to the following, you'll be all set: exec banned.cfg exec listip.cfg writeid Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elminst Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 11:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds] disappearing bans? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Fencik > > This behavior is by design.

So the bans get written to the file on every map change. So you're saying that when the server.cfg is loaded on first startup, a writeid will clear the ban file? If true, then that's not how it used to work, and is also pretty frickin lame. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
