Yes he can upload different server.cfg

The server is launched by command line, the command-line overrides the  
setting in the server.cfg doesn't it, unless maybe the "autoupdate"  
feature enables a reboot ignoring the commandline (which seems  
impossible though) ?
I've been hosting servers for the past year and a half like that, I  
would have known earlier if a simple "maxplayers 24" line in the  
server.cfg changed anything .... I hope ...

Thanks for your input.
