Hi everyone,
I just found out one of my clients can change the slot count of his
server (CS 1.6), does anyone know how ou know how to stop him from
doing so ? Is there a common way of doing it and most important, is
there a fix ?
I think he uses the server.cfg to send commands through to
to change slots:
] shutdownserver
] maxplayers 24
] map de_dust2

Thanks guys for your answers, but here a couple more details:
- the command script is protected
- the guy says he does it using the server.cfg
- gameservers are launched as a user and not as root
- he has ftp access
- the bins and .so are not protected
Thanks for your time.

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.

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) ?

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
Does the client have SSH access, or just FTP?

Just FTP :)

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 ;)
Thanks all for your suggestions, but when a customer restarts the
server from his panel, the command line executes automatically the
right slot count. Which is why I don't understand how he does it and
makes me wonder if it has something to do with the autoupdate commande
line.
