    by typing auth in the console it give you a stange green icon by your name. I dont think it gives you any rights.
    btw my green icon went away with the 1.02 patch.. at least that's when I noticed it

    your right and I knew that but all it does is say "auth on" I still dont get the green icon by my name.. at least not on my screen. I saw a different icon when monsierevil joined. His looked like a seashell or alien head hehe.. hard to say

    think its cuz they're in the NSGuide- or Dev team..
    btw, my celeron 400 // 384kbit // 386mb ram works like a charm with 6-8 players <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    for rcon to work do this
    edit your servers server.cfg and put in the line (xxxxxxx being the password you choose of course)
    rcon_password xxxxxxx

    on your friends computer create an autoexec.cfg file in the NS folder
    open it with notepad and add the line
    rcon_password xxxxxxx

    now the first time he joins your server he MIGHT have to type
    exec autoexec.cfg
    to load the file, but this is the ONLY time you have to do it

    now he should be able to do rcon like this:
    rcon kick bob
    rcon status
    rcon stat
    rcon user

    etc.. etc..

    make sense ?

    mp_authicons ONLY gives the icon, it does NOT GIVE RCON!
