You can also set the following to a stupidly high number until Valve
fixes it (if, for instance, you don't have access to the firewalls on
your servers.)
sv_rcon_maxfailures : 10
: : Max number of times a user can fail rcon
authentication before being banned
sv_rcon_minfailures : 5
: : Number of times a user can fail rcon authentication
in sv_rcon_minfailuretime before being banned
sv_rcon_minfailuretime : 30
: : Number of seconds to track failed rcon authentications
Well, except for the third one, which you should set lower. ;)
