<DIV>I think that it its not possible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Because you can change it with rcon. So members with rcon pass can make the maxclients higher.</DIV>
<DIV>The only thing is that if the server restarts the value in your .cfg will be used.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Or make it that the server automatic changes it every 1 min.</DIV>
<DIV>But don't ask me how to do that.</DIV>

<DIV>Seems like the easiest thing would be to make the cfg file read only and chown it to root. That way, it can only be changed by the admin.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another thing you can do is have the start script execute the command line from a non-public directory. The command line can be owned by root, but the client is running the game, so to speak.</DIV>

<DIV>> Haven't tested this, but I guess you could do a readonly</DIV>
<DIV>> donotchange.cfgfile (core settings not to change and that do not</DIV>
<DIV>> change throughout the</DIV>
<DIV>> game, maxclients, privateclients, maxrate etc), and then actually use</DIV>
<DIV>> punkbuster, so I think it would be</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> pb_sv_task 60 300 exec donotchange.cfg</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> in your config, which would reset those vars every 5 mins. Like I said,</DIV>
<DIV>> never tested in cod2, but might be a different angle you could approach the</DIV>
<DIV>> problem from. (Nothing to ultimately stop them removing that task though if</DIV>
<DIV>> they are wise enough). Or you could get a timed rcon or screen command to</DIV>
<DIV>> send it if necessary.</DIV>
