banned.cfg is the cache file to save bans issued by the console.
banid <minutes> <Steam ID>
writeid

You can also ban by IP, to do so you use:
addip <minutes> <IP>
writeip

Thats the global usage, do not include the tags. 0 minutes is permanent. writeip/writeid ensures its stored in the cache file.

There was a thread on this earlier before the forum got blasted!

There are two cached ban files, banned_user.cfg and banned_ip.cfg. Best advice is to have these files executed using a further config file autoexec.cfg as this ensures that the bans get loaded every time the server restarts.

You can manually enter bans into the files also, so if you have a report of a user no longer in the game you can check the log files. I've done this recently for banned_user.cfg, an entry lookgs like this
banid 0 STEAM_0:0:0000000

Add the following line to your server.cfg.

exec banned_user.cfg

This will execute the banned user list whenever a new map is loaded. If you don't do this banned players will be able to get back onto your server the next time a map loads.

Oops I had it on the wrong end with the filenames, thanks for clarifying.
