Don't cite me, I use 14-character rcon. :P

Yeah, these guys trying to say a 6 character password is so uber aren't
thinking like a cracker. We know how the quality of valve coding can be... a
good example is the sentry/dispenser/sapper exploit that was so wide spread
and still has usable exploit potential on some levels, which I won't go into
here. But I will pose this question... what happens to your dictionary level
password when a bug or exploit renders the previously mentioned cvars
useless? ... anybody serious about security tries to make use of
multi-factor and multi-level authentications where possible.

Guys, I'm sure safe rcon password is a clear rule, but I was really talking
about exploits in the game, like cheating, crashes, takeovers and etc.

Because you can accidentally make mistakes on your own, when you typing
your rcon and using it. And that's why
sv_rcon_minfailures 3
even better. You don't want to be banned from your own server, don't you?

a 2nd chance ?
If it is set to "sv_rcon_minfailures 2" and it was an admin that failed
the
password, i would thing they could get a hold of someone to remove it.
if i'm not seeing this correctly or there would be other reasons to allow
someone that tries to hack rcon access and fails to rejoin.
Then please tell me.
