I've got a working solution to my problem, though, thanks to kkrcon (kkrcon.sourceforge.net). This may be like using your left hand to scratch your right ear, but: 1. I've mounted the hlds_l directory of the DoD machine on the TFC machine and visa versa. 2. My script for the TFC machine: #!/bin/sh # Prep a listing of bans for the OTHER server cat /usr/local/games/hlds_l/tfc/listip.cfg >/usr/local/games/hlds_l/tfc/tfcbans.txt cat /usr/local/games/hlds_l/tfc/banned.cfg >>/usr/local/games/hlds_l/tfc/tfcbans.txt # Get the listing of bans from the mounted directory # of the OTHER server cp -f /mnt/dod_server/dod/dodbans.txt /usr/local/games/hlds_l/tfc/dodbans.cfg # Use kkrcon to execute the bans and write to the files kkrcon.pl -a my.tfcserver.com mypassword exec dodbans.cfg >/dev/null kkrcon.pl -a my.tfcserver.com mypassword exec writeip >/dev/null kkrcon.pl -a my.tfcserver.com mypassword exec writeid >/dev/null And on the other server the 'mirror' of this: #!/bin/sh # Prep a listing of bans for the OTHER server cat /usr/local/games/hlds_l/dod/listip.cfg >/usr/local/games/hlds_l/dod/dodbans.txt cat /usr/local/games/hlds_l/dod/banned.cfg >>/usr/local/games/hlds_l/dod/dodbans.txt # Get the listing of bans from the mounted directory # of the OTHER server cp -f /mnt/tfc_server/tfc/tfcbans.txt /usr/local/games/hlds_l/dod/tfcbans.cfg # Use kkrcon to execute the bans and write to the files kkrcon.pl -a my.dodserver.com mypassword exec tfcbans.cfg >/dev/null kkrcon.pl -a my.dodserver.com mypassword exec writeip >/dev/null kkrcon.pl -a my.dodserver.com mypassword exec writeid >/dev/null Seems to work!

[hlds_linux] Common banned.cfg between two servers?
Folks: This has been asked before but for the life of me I can't find it in the archives or doing a general search on various forums: I want to use a common banned.cfg and listip.cfg across two physically seperate DoD and TFC servers, the general principle being if a player is a jerk in one place he's most probably a universal jerk. I suspect mounting the directory of one on the other and doing a soft link, ala ln -s /mnt/otherserver/tfc/banned.txt /usr/local/games/hlds_l/dod/banned.txt may not work as Server A may 'write' to the banned.cfg but Server B may not 'read' from the file, keeping its banned.cfg in memory and only writing to the physically shared banned.cfg when necessary, overwriting what Server A has put in banned.cfg. Am I thinking right? If not, will this work? If so, is there another method? Thanks!

[hlds_linux] Admin Server Through HLTV

These were/are symptoms of the "no name" cheat. 1. Look for: changed name to "" 2. On the off chance that it's the "silence server" attack, check for rapid leave/join teams.

Re: The disappearance of timed bans and their retention
Well, this has proven to be a masturbatory experience. With kkrcon 2.11,
you can do a:
kkrcon.pl -a -p listid | sed /User/d |
sed /permanent/d | sed 's/ min//g' | sed 's/ : / /g' | awk
'{for(i=NF;i>0;i--)printf "%s ",$i;print ""}' | sed 's/^/banid /g'
>tempbans.cfg
That in a shell script called by cron every few minutes, and 'exec
tempbans.cfg' in your autoexec.cfg, you have tempbans re-read back into
the server if it crashes/restarts. Nice, huh? EXCEPT, the listid gives the
ORIGINAL time for the temp ban, not the current time left on the ban. Doh!

New CVAR-s?
Is there a list of the new server CVAR's out there somewhere? I've checked through the readme.txt and linuxreadme.txt and at least the latter does not reflect the new release. BTW, is the sv_maxspectators sv_spectator_password working now? Danke! "Insane" Husayn

Disappointing that someone (perhaps not even a subscriber to this particular list) couldn't follow a simple request. Valve is less prone to offer us information if we can't prove reliable.

Cheating on our servers
Colleagues: A few times in the past I've submitted postings to the list that more address the policies and even philosophies I have with regards to administering a HalfLife server, running the risk of going "off topic." This morning I've sent a message to my administrators with regards to maintaining the atmosphere of sportsmanship, team play, and camaraderie that I am striving for on the server that I maintain. I feel this important as we work to comprehend, address, and respond to the horrific events of September 11. It offers a small island of relief in an otherwise frightening world. Administering my server is also a small means by which I can perform some mundane chores to continue a bit of normallacy in my own life. One of the problems that I continue to confront in administering my server is cheating. Many of us see it regularly. The more extreme forms of cheating we see have the sole purpose of selfishly distrupting the game or bringing down a server (the "no name" cheat has the capability of doing this). I've never quite understood the mindset of those individuals who do it. Recent events have allowed me to look at it in a slightly different way. While in no way do I wish to diminish the horror and import of the terrible events that have recently taken place, I am now starting to think that the mindset of cheating does in a very small way share that of terrorists. The cheaters wish to selfishly disrupt and destroy. While none of them may ever aspire to perform such actions "in the real world," they none the less are disrupting the servers we manage and destroying the structure of the games we offer. Their reasons are beyond the comprehension of the majority of players and administrators. The defense of my server against such actions is a task that I'm not quite in the mood to undertake now and feel that my efforts could be better used elsewhere. Am I reading too much into this or being a bit too harsh? I'd appreciate the thoughts of you veteran administrators out there. "Insane" Husayn
