Server Question

[rovens]

If i am hosting a game on steam how do i set a password to restrict entry to the game?

[PD-]

" sv_password chooseapassword " in console from hlsw. If you are on the server, it might require you to use " rcon " infront.

Thanks for that. Though being dumb im missing one thing somewhere. Do i need to sign somewhere to get an rcon password?

A line in the server.cfg:
rcon_password "password"

There are some exploits still rumoured to be floating around where you can download server configs; it's best to put the rcon password on the HLDS command line.

You'd do that by appending "+rcon_password <password>" on your HLDS start string.
