server kicks players with reason "added to banned list"

Hello, I'm running Cs 1.6 Linux server, sometimes the server kicks players with the reason "Added to banned list" can anyone help me? thanks!

Re: server kicks players with reason "added to banned list"

Perhaps someone got ahold of your rcon password and is banning everybody because they have a pet peave against you? Im guessing theres some type of anti spam plugin or a command client side that is kicking players. What setup are you using? amxmodx version, plugins, server.cfg, etc.

Re: server kicks players with reason "added to banned list"

Look in your AMX Mod X logs to see where the ban is coming from. Make sure that your admins are authenticated by SteamID (if you want to use a password, use it in addition to the SteamID). Disable RCON entirely by setting the password to an empty string or make it an extremely difficult password.

can it be the reason? and how to make sure admins get authenticated by SteamID

Re: server kicks players with reason "added to banned list"

When posting text from a file like plugins.ini, server.cfg, or a log file, etc. you should use [code][/code] tags around that text. This will make your post much easier to read and understand.
I asked about the normal logs, not the error logs. By default, all admins commands should be logged to the normal log files so you can trace back who executed them (assuming they don't have your RCON password).
To see how to assign admins, take a look at users.ini where it shows an example of using a SteamID.
Another thing to consider is that you should never use a plugin where you were sent (or you downloaded) the .amxx file because it could contain malicious code that allows a hacker to access your server. You'll either want to use the "Get Plugin" link for plugins that are attached to posts (only on this forum) or compile them yourself after you have examined the code. If you're not familiar with plugin code, you can post the code here so we can verify it.

sorry I did not know about the code tags I added admins with SteamID and downloaded all the plugins from this forum It will be probably fixed, Thanks!

Re: server kicks players with reason "added to banned list"

Did you change your rcon password to an empty string?

So the that exact text isn't in any AMX Mod X default plugin so either you have a corrupt version of a default plugin or one of your other plugins is doing the actual ban. So, I would recommend upgrading AMX Mod X to 1.9.0 if at all possible from the official source so that you can be sure the plugins aren't corrupted.

Based on the name of one of your extra plugins, I suspect that the this ban command is coming from your "adminchk" plugin. Please provide the source code for that plugin so we can check it for malicious code.
