Well, to quote yourself from the corresponding forum thread:

"well i just tried the 32 bit binary, no difference, still omits the damn ip address. I looked in the rcon after i set the ban, it shows only "addban ip perm" after I type it in, so it seems to not add the reason in it."

If the 32bit binaries don't work for you, I don't see how this could be a problem with 64 bit.

I just tested this under FreeBSD 8.1 64bit and everything works fine there. So whatever problem you are having, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with 64 bit.

We are using the Linux Binarys btw. It only happens in the 64 bit binarys, even Konar6 has the same issue.

Well, it don't for me, I did it as shown in the screenshot I attached.

The screenshot shows that the ban command is properly parsed and that the IP is added to the list. Wait seems to fail is the appending of the ban to the file. I'd assume that the ban works properly till the banfile is reparsed. Do the bans work properly if you don't restart the server and set sv_banfilereparsetime to 0?

I tried this on a Server that hasn't been restarted, same thing.. just adds :reason like before.

No, I didn't mean to check the banfile if sv_banfilereparsetime is 0, but to check if the bans work properly in case the banfile is never read. In other words, if you call addban, is the corresponding IP kicked and prevented from rejoining?

Oh, Well no it is not. When the Ip gets kicked, it can rejoin instantly, thus the ban is never read by the server, simply cuse it never logs the ip into the banfile

The completely contradicts what Konar6 is reporting in the forum thread:'http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=353882#p353882 [^]'

Well, I have no other clue of whats going on.. It just seems its only Armada having this issue, unless Konar is still using the same thing we are. i guess this will never get fixed.

According to Konar6 this is not a Skulltag bug, but a problem with the system:'http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=354336#p354336 [^]'

And I fully agree with this: If your system doesn't support file append operations, something is horribly wrong with it. I suggest asking about this at your Linux distro's forum.

Ok well, even after reinstalling to Fendora Linux, it still bugs out.. I wonder, if either Torr or Blzut3 could come on the Armada server and see if you can fix it.

I have tried everything, and cost c and Cyber there time, getting this OS reinstall, only to find out, that even that did not fix the issue, so it cannot be the OS we were on before.

I have a feeling we might have to go to 32 bit in order to have addban and votekicks and such to work right.

Does the logging Konar6 describes here work for you? If not, something is wrong with your system.

You told earlier that the 32bit binaries do the same thing.

I know I havnt posted on this topic in awhile. For now, I have no net at my house, so I can't test this out any further till i get net back, witch will be awhile.

Welp, sorry for Bumping this but.. You can go ahead and close this. I can't figure out the reason as to why this happens, and yet nobody else has this problem.. Not worth worrying about it anymore, since I can ban the Ip, but have to go in by hand, and add the reason to the ban.

This issue is already marked as resolved. If you feel that is not the case, please reopen it and explain why.
Supporters:	No one explicitly supports this issue yet.
Opponents:	No one explicitly opposes this issue yet.
