Ban files.

[Hazz]

I'm sure as most of you know SRCDS uses the 2 ban.cfg files, one for IP bans and the other for steam ID bans.

I have about 5 servers, is there a way to link them together. So if I banned one user they wouldn't be able to go on any of the 5 servers.

I've seen source bans, however that needs sourcemod, and most of our servers use Mani.

Any replies would be great, this is on Windows 2003 Server if that helps....

Without using SourceBans or some other MySQL-based system, it'll be pretty hard.

Unfortunately, Windows isn't too hot on the utilities front. With a Linux-based OS, you could've had symlinks to both files for all servers, but this isn't really possible without being very hard in Windows.

Personally I don't like Mani in that it's configuration is very VERY limited compared to SourceMod.

I know there is a way of doing it. I don't know off hand HOW to do that.
Search the forums, I know this has been done before.

Beetle's Mod can do it easily but I know a while ago I asked this same exact question....
