When you say he has ftp access does that mean he can upload a server.cfg file to the directory where you have CS installed? If that's the case, I would guess he's uploading a custom server.cfg and it gets read on map change. Just a guess, though. - Dave Arnaud DUMAS de RAULY wrote:

He has FTP access? Well, wouldn't he just be editing the server.cfg? Or starting a server process with a +servercfgfile specified? Confused somewhat... if you don't want him having the ability to modify/create then he shouldn't have those permissions (i.e FTP) on the server?

Let me make a few assumptions here. I assume that: 1. You have a box and the client in question pays for a CS 1.6 server with N slots which runs on this box. 2. You don't want him to change the number of slots because he only pays for N slots. Is this the case? If so, then my solution to

Your assumptions are correct. The client needs access to the ftp (and all of our clients have this acces, as well as all of our competitor's clients) to be able to change anything he wants, such as server name, password, etc ... this is how it's been for the past 2 years and we've never

Write a small cron script that checks the slots and restarts the server with if the slotcount is wrong. And when you're doing this, you can also check if your customer has set a password (if it's a private server). I think the customer will complain if his server restarts every 5 mins ;)
