[cod] Forcing server-side variables on a cod2 server

[Tyson]

A script is the only way I've ever seen this done. It's how all the
commercial control panels do it.

Monitor slots/private password and if either changes does one of several
things.

If they have rcon then it's assumed by the server they have the right to
change ALL changeable settings.

It is almost completely my case : as a reward for an online 1-night cup 
that we organize for small teams, we "offer" a year (or so, I'm not 
organizing it, just putting the technics in place) of a private server, 
that has to be fixed-sized, and private.

I have already thought about a script to monitor and if possible restore 
the settings I want to keep. But I don't find it very clean (because 
it's external).
