Remote administration and multiple administrators

[captnroger]

Hi all,

I'm setting up a server for a clan that will have multiple admins. Is there any way to define a password for each individual admin, or do I have to use a generic password? Also, is there any GUI tools that will allow for remote administration of the server without using, say, terminal services?

Thanks,

-Roger

There is only one rcon password.... so every admin will need it. We use CK autokick. It works fine you just need to keep a good conversation going with all the admins to keep the ban list updated.

I use PCAnywhere for our dedicated machine, but VNC and a freeware FTP would be all that anyone needs. There are even some VNC programs out there that are integrating file transfer into VNC now, but not sure how far along they are.

As for the server admin, you only have an rcon password to work with in this game. Not sure if you can tell which client sent a command yet (you could in Spearhead), but everyone has the same password. Of course, if only one person had remote access to the server via VNC (or PCAnywhere/Terminal Services) then that person could always just go in directly to the console and rename the rconpassword any time he needs to hijack the password back from someone being malicious.

*cough* personal experience *cough* :cry:

So you really only have two levels, rcon access and server access. Can't do much damage with rcon access, but you can do PLENTY of damage with server access, so that is really where the concern comes in. Depending on what remote administration software you use, you may be able to limit your risk there with user-permissions.

Maybe you should take a look at www.serverwatch.tk

its an full admin tool. What it helps you on your problem ?

There is a client for that software also. So you dont have to give your rcon password away and give more different rights than only full access or no access.

0.8.11 have also first cod support
