That should do it, for a temp fix.
But it would be mush easier to nicely ask Valve for a fix, beacause newbies like me mabye having troubles doing such a script. And you should have a possibility to have more than 200 bans on your server default without searching the net for a fix. Mabye even a possibility to check for bans in a database?
Reguards
Per
Could you set a cron job that will split the files into 5k portions and appends an exec <filename> to a config file so that as your ban list increases it will be stored in multiple files and then in the server config you have
exec bannedlists.cfg
bannedlists.cfg will have exec bl1.cfg, exec bl2.cfg etc that should solve your problem

Dear All,
Got a ban list which is almost 10kbytes long, now every time my server crashes and it tries to reload the banned_user.cfg file I end up with an empty banned user list.
if I try to execute a backup manually I get the response :
exec backupbanned_user.cfg Cbuf_AddText: buffer overflow
and no bans are added. Currently I have to manually cut the banlist in half and cut-n-paste each part seperately into console to restore the bans, obviously this is a bit cumbersome to say the least.
Anybody knows what's going on and maybe has a proper fix for it ?
regards,
Jurgen van den Handel
