Thread: Losing admin rights in private slots

    Default Losing admin rights in private slots

    Hi all,

    I run my server with two private slots. When connecting to either of those slots I noticed after playing
    a few minutes my Reborn admin rights are lost somehow. After re-inputting my password the rights are back.
    For a while at least, then they are gone again.
    "Normal" Rcon keeps working, but the Reborn rights (ad_) are lost after a few minutes. Haven't been able
    to notice a pattern yet as to when exactly the rights are lost. It's not when (re)spawning or switching teams.

    When connecting to a 'normal' public slot there are no problems with the Reborn rights, this behaviour only
    happens when connecting to a private slot (slot numbers 0 and 1 in my case).

    Server is Windows with the latest Reborn patch and binaries (1.115).

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Do you loose them after map change maybe?

    No, not with mapchange either.
    It just happens after a few minutes of playing. And only when connected to a private slot.

    By the way, it's been this way for some time, not just with the latest binaries (1.115).
    Never bothered me much (I just log in again), just curious if others noticed it too.

    But it seems nobody else has this problem then?

    Probably because private slots are not that popular.

    Not to everyone, true..
    But very useful when an admin wishes to play or watch a player on his own server if it's full, lol!

    It's not a big deal, Razor. If rights are needed while in a private slot the admins can just log in again.
    Just thought I'd let you know.

    ***EDIT***
    Come to think of it,
    Maybe it's not a bug, but rather a feature!
    Like a (web)application that auto logs out an admin after a certain amount of time to prevent misuse
    while getting another beer.

    Maybe it should be implemented to all 'normal' slots as well!

    I'd rather know why this is happening than going the "It's not a bug, it's feature" route

    LOL! Indeed, enough of the 'ol Bill Gates routine
    Although the live broadcast of the presentation of Windows 98 with the BSOD remains a classic!

    Frankly I have no idea why it only happens when in a private slot.

    I do remember there was something going on with slot 0 a while ago. And slot 0 happens to be
    one of my two private slots!
    But that thread was from June and was about people getting kicked at random when connected
    to slot 0.

    Coincidence or might it mean something?
    Is there something special about slot 0? Is it different from the other slots somehow?

    I'll check the next few days if rights are also lost in slot 1.

    Meanwhile here is the thread:

    Tried it for a few days, but the loss of adminrights only occurs when
    connected to slot 0.
    When connected to the other slots the rights are retained.
