The problem with that way is that the banfile will be inconsistance. It
will not work properly
Scenario:
You ban someone on server1
> banid 0 steam_0:1:2 kick; writeid
server1 will write all bans from memory to banned_user.cfg (banned.cfg on
hlds)
until server2 changes map it will not know about the ban.
You then ban someone on server2
> banid 0 steam_1:2:3 kick; writeid
server2 will write down everything it has in its memory. ie: it overwrite
what server1 just have banned.
I have written a script to work around it.
(This is a summary of the script that does the global ban thing. The
actual script is a little more complex than this)
---- snip ----
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
DIRS="css1 css2 css3 css4"
OUTPUTFILE=pvp_banned.cfg
cd /games/common
# Go through all the dirs
for i in $DIRS
do
cat /games/${i}/cstrike/cfg/banned_user.cfg >> /tmp/tempbans
done
# sort out a make the entries unique
cat /tmp/tempbans | sed 's/^M//g' | sort -u > /games/common/$OUTPUTFILE
# remove the tempfile
rm /tmp/tempbans
---- snap ----
in each instance of the directory you have a link to the pvp_banned.cfg
cd /games/css1/cstrike/cfg
ln -s /games/common/pvp_banned.cfg
in the bottom of server.cfg I have:
exec pvp_banned.cfg
writeid
This will work, but you need to be careful when you unban. If its not done
properly the ban can reapear again.
