Server admin questions

[Coolica]

I have a dedicated server running but I wanna give my friend access to the console. How do I do that? I want him to be able to do kicks and bans from his own console. Is that what the rcon password is for? If not, what is rcon for? Thx. BTW I don't have any admin or amx mods. Just a normal server.

Yes, that's exactly what an RCON is for - it allows a client to establish a Remote CONnection to the server using a set password/port.

First set a password on your server using the following command:

rcon password foobar

(In this case, foobar is your RCON password - not your server password)

Now get your friend to login to RCON using his console with the command:

rcon_password foobar

Once he has logged in, he can kick/ban and change some settings of the server.
