[mohaa] different ways of crashing a server???

[luke]

Sorry to hear that, Anthony. I don't know of any game bugs like the
U-boat issue that allow people to crash  server. Have you looked at your
logs? Was it in fact a U-boat spawn? I thought for about a month that I
had patched my server but didn't realize until someone crashed it a
couple of times that I had botched the patch. Also, why do you use FTP
and not SSH? Its certainly possible for someone to packet sniff your
admin and/or rcon password if you are logging without encryption. If
they get the game rcon they can enter 'rcon crash' and that's it.....

Folks,
Important...well at least I think it is. What are the different methods
of 
crashing a server. The only one that I know of is doing the uboat spawn 
hack. Outside of this, are there any other ways to actually CRASH a
server? 
The reason I asked is that an infamous clan was able to crash my server 
today even with the uboat fix in place. I'm runing linux servers with no

access method besides ftp to get into the server...
