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 the problem would be to tell him that he either explains to you in detail exactly what he is doing and how he is doing it, or you cancel his service and revoke his access to the box. If my assumptions are incorrect then I must be misunderstanding all of this, since I can't think of any other reason he would have access to the server.cfg but you wouldn't want him changing the slot count.
