Bans will not stick.

Darksoul:
My bans won't stick. This is not just a ULX issue, but assmod and RCON. I am trying to figure out what the is wrong.

They don't know what the is wrong either.

My server IS running DarkRP, but I see other servers working fine with bans. (I hear darkrp has exploits and a bunch of other .) The rcon console in HLSW shows all the bans being reloaded, but I can join the server and not get kicked for being banned.

I have 40+ bans already. I need a way to make them stick!.

JamminR:
That's a tough situation. So many variables, including yes, a possible exploit in DarkRP, to consider.
Off the top of my head, I'd check file permissions.
That is, does Gmod have rights to access/edit the banned_*.cfg files.
To ban is a two step process.
addid adds the steamid to the banlist, which _should_ keep someone from joining immediately.
writeid then adds the list of bans.
When running your server, if you type 'listid' in the server console, does anything show in your server console?

Darksoul:
Whoops. Server console.

Yeah, I see a list of id's all banned with the words permanent :D.

Darksoul:
I really don't want to sound like an ass here, but I need a solution ASAP. I have had to password my server because some jackass "Steam server police" decided to crash my server twice. Afterwords I of course kept ID kicking him until I had enough people to pass the server :D.

But seriously, I thought I had my server protected against most of the well known exploits:

ncp sv_benchmark_force_start
ncp sv_soundscape_printdebuginfo
ncp sv_soundemitter_flush

Did I miss any?. Can you tell me what else to add?.

MrPresident:
I KNOW this has been discussed on these forums before.. because I've personally participated in a few of them..

This will fix your problem...


In your server.cfg file.. the one where you set your rcon password and hostname and stuf..

add this..

"exec"   "banned_user.cfg"

This loads the list of banned users when the server starts. I'm fairly sure this is why your bans "are not sticking.."
The list is not loaded and then when you ban someone with HLSW or in game it saves to that list without first loading it and overwrites it.

this SHOULD fix your problem.. if not, there is something more wrong which I have no knowledge of.
