Sorry, I meant properly using the engines built in ban system for failed
login attempts. On our servers I think we allow 5 failed attempts before
we IP ban for an hour.

You don't need RCON to issue an IP ban. Why you'd want to ban someone
by IP address is beyond me since IP bans are pretty much useless.

Don't use "writeid" after you ban someone. "banid 0 steam_xyz" is
enough to remove the offending player from the server. You also need
to make sure you have "exec banned_user.cfg" in your server.cfg or the
ban list will be lost when the server crashes or is restarted.
