I think that would require a massive rewrite, because rcon is used totally differently from the "in-game" protocol. Currently if you use rcon from in-game, it creates a separate connection to the server (using TCP) and the server doesn't actually know your steamid, but only your IP address (although it may guess the steamid by looking at the players list and comparing the addresses). Also apps like HLSW or HLStatsX (partially) would not work anymore as they are not related to any steam account. You can always use firewall to block the TCP port on certain IPs (or actually allow from only certain IPs). I am pretty sure the server uses the TCP port only for rcon connections. Just my 2 cents :) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
