 I know that Rob is working on a way to exec admin commands by saying

 With this hte admin can set up only the commands he wants his admins to
 use and disable rcon. I've also written a web based client for halfd to
 admin server via web that allows you to limit what commands can and cannot
 be used. Sorry I'm not really sure what your goal is here with your rcon
 wrapper. I was getting you want to prevent some commands from being issued
 or settings being changed.


Not my goal...someone else's.  They want to give rcon access to their
customers, but don't want them to mess with the sv_maxrate, etc.

The reason they want to give rcon access is so that these customers can
have the full functionality of hlsw.  For example, hlsw stores all
player names in a wonid database if you have the rcon password.  This
feature is nice.

So a custom frontend to halfd won't really help here.  What is necessary
is to be able to restrict access to a few commands and a few cvars.

Can't the customer just be told not to mess with the rate settings?  Seams like
is would be easy enough to automate checking up on.  I doubt too many people
would mess with it if losing their account is the result.

I think that is a brilliant suggestion.  It seems these customers got
their admins working too hard!

I thought that adminmod required clients to:

setinfo _admin-pass MYPASSWORD

...or something like that.  No?  AMXmod will let you use wonids only,
without setting a client password in this manner.

Using ip addy for authentication is not a good idea because most players
have dynamically assigned ip addresses, and some are behind NATs, with
one ip address for multiple users.

if you leave the password part blank in your users.ini

you can connect without setting a password.

I'm fully aware of that most ip's use DHCP, that's why I wrote wonid too.

And as Edwin wrote, you can use wonid only.

No, I am saying a lot of admin like to use HLSW for rcon. Which allows them
to edit all the cvars.

But then this will not work with HLSW correct? I know about AMX mod. I wrote
several mods. But I haven't seen a way to disable certain cvars from HLSW
being able to edit.

If you put what you want in your server.cfg it will at least be put back
to the defaults on map change.  At least this is the case with 3.1.1.0 -
there was some talk about this changing in the latest release but the
thread turned into a flamefest or something so I gave up following it.

rcon should not be given to untrusted people.  No-one but myself has
rcon to the servers I run - I don't trust anyone.  I use amxmod to give
priveleges to my admins.
