-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We have had those two lines in all of our servers' autoexec.cfg files since day one, for over two years now. The problem isn't the lists not loading.
The problem, which was outlined in the first post, is that after the server is started, banned_user.cfg becomes a blank file, even though SourceDS has all of the bans loaded that *were* in the list when it started up. A writeid command needs to be issued to put the banlist back into blank banned_user.cfg.
