Well, that is exactly what I have planned for HLSB -- to incorporate it with a single server by hard-coding the IP/Port and RCON password for a specific server...
You cant just remove the RCON stuff tho, or it wont work at all!! In order for a third-party program to access the Remote Console operations of any HL game server it must follow the "Rcon Challenge Request" procedure by providing a valid rcon password.. Think about it, if your HL game server allowed everyone to connect to the server through third-party socket programs (like PHP with sockets) *without* requiring an Rcon password, then anyone could write a script to change *your* servers map, configs, etc.. You see, by querying the server for information the script is actually sending a Remote Console command called 'status' and then catching the returned data.
If you want to manipulate HLSB to work for you now, all you have to do is Hard-Code the Server IP / Port / Rcon Password into the script, and remove the input boxes...
You can do whatever you want with it, it is open-source!!
