And it would broke all gameserver control panels which has some rcon functionality, for example showing gamserver status. HLSW would also broke.
Very bad idea. But the idea is good that you wouldn't be able to _change_ rcon password via rcon rcon_password because that is a problem which brokes gameserver control panels and anticheats which are using rcon to kick players from the server if they are not running the client -- Ystävällisin terveisin, Dataproof Aleksanterinkatu 7 A 14 15110 LAHTI puh. 0405166397 Valtteri Kiviniemi [EMAIL PROTECTED] kirjoitti: > Steam ID auth wouldn't always work, because rcon goes over a separate > channel and you don't even need to be on the server. > > I suppose they could do "if at least one user from this IP is playing on the > server, make sure at least 1 user from that IP has their steam ID in the > auth list" > > Fairly often rcon passwords on clan servers are changed when configs are > changed ie between public and private modes, so locking the rcon password > after launch could interfere with that.
