Hmmm... writeid requires a manual command, which is not very handy... specially when the server is several miles from me, running on BG.
Moreover, if there is a server crash - no uncommon at all - the possible bans won't be logged. Is there an alternative that could be run from cron or something alike ? And, regarding bans, the lines did look like that, with the 0.0 meaning permanent... Something definitely is going on here, for those entries are gone... At 01:44 PM 1/15/2003, you wrote:
Make sure you have "writeid" in your server.cfg file. That write the ban that are in memory to a file. I believe they are lost on server restart if this is not done.
does the line in your banned.cfg look something like this? banid 0.0 12345 The 0.0 means permanent. If it's not that, then they would dissapear after what ever time they were banned for.
