Hey guys,

I just started up a Linux server (CoD 1.2) the other day. I was playing around with the rcon and testing out the banning stuff I banned a friend just to test it - but I can't unban him. I've tried all the rcon unban commands... and he even used a different CD key but it still wont let him in. I really just want to find the ban.txt and take him totally off but I can't freaking find it. The server is in Dallas and Im in College Station ... but I can get into the file system (just not be physicallyat the computer) ... Where is the ban.txt!!!

The ban.txt gets saved in the main folder in your server's homepath. If your server runs on Linux look for the hidden .callofduty folder, unless you've specified a path with fs_homepath.

you might need to make a ban allso before it gets generated by the server i would think

Woops this is strange....
In my windows server the ban file are in the main folder.

But on my linux server it is not in the main folder og in the other main folder.....
So i cant find it my self.
THe ban works but i cant find the text for it only.

Anyone here that knows were it is or how i can find it ?

NO! the commands dont work. I have tested them and nothing! there is no ban.txt file being created because nobody is being banned!

callofduty/cod_lnxded +sets gamestartup \"`date +"%m-%d-%y %T "`\" +set ttycon 0 +set dedicated 2 +exec myffa.cfg +set net_ip ***.***.***.*** +set net_port 28960 +set com_hunkMegs "92" +set com_zoneMegs "64" +set fs_basepath /root/callofduty/ +set fs_homepath /root/.callofduty/ +map_rotate

that is my startup line. All the .log and the config_mp_server.cfg files go to the /.callofduty DIR. so i am guessing the ban.txt file would go there but like i said the commands dont work through rcon or on the box itself :?
