Hell Phoenix nailed this one, I think. HLStatX will most certainly ban EVERY player that disconnects from your server, for 5 minutes, if AutoBanRetry is set to "1". This one drove me crazy, not because I couldn't find the setting, but because I had hlstats.pl set up as a Windows server - which is actually perl.exe running the hlstats.pl runtime script as a service. So - I found my config problem - fixed the setting - and restarted my windows service wrapper. And voila - users STILL were getting banned. Stopped the service and tested again - and no luck - still happening. Finally, had the presence of mind to check my running processes - and there was perl.exe just chunking along - regardless of what my service manager was reporting re: my service wrapper.
So - a lesson learned - be careful with using tools like srvany and firedaemon to wrap things as services. Just because you think they are stopped - ain't necessarily so.

You could probably go to www.hlstatsx.com and find out all this info. Joshua Handelsman-Woolf (DogGunn) wrote: > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Oops.
