Unable to switch sv_cheats off? Options

[Capt.HorseBalls]

Hi Fellow Server Admins,
Im Capt.HorseBalls, the server admin for [FUBR] Clan.
We have a little problem, we dont know how it happened, but sv_cheats was set to 1 lately.

What we tried to disable it was: forcecvar sv_cheats 0, which didnt work.
We also tried adding +set sv_cheats 0 and +seta sv_cheats 0 and forcecvar sv_cheats 0 to the startup line and server.cfg, which also did not help.
What we do see is that in the /27960/etpub directory,contains a file named ETCONFIG.cfg containing seta sv_cheats "1"
If we delete that file and restart the server, the file is remade, with sv_cheats 1 in it again.

Its a non-PB server btw.
And running an compiled version of ETpub 0.9.1 and omnibot 0.7

Is there someone who knows what might be the problem and how to fix it?

Thx!

Are you loading the ETCONFIG.cfg with any of the used configs the server reads at startup?

[Capt.HorseBalls]

No, I removed a command called exec et_autoexec from the server.cfg and deleted etconfig.cfg and restarted the server, that didnt help out .

I am not really conform with etpub cfgs but when i start my server i directly load the cfgs in the startupline without any autoexec or etconfig. I just add +exec server.cfg +exec mod.cfg + exec my.cfg (for example) and the most important cfg is the last one that defines the cvars on the server so as sv_cheats. I found some topics on the net about older nightly builds of etpub that required sv_cheats 1 to work with omni-bot. But i didnt find a direct hit with a similar problem as you have.

do you have a rootserver or just a gameserver?

[Capt.HorseBalls]

Rootserver, i localized the problem to be in omnibot 0.7
If i remove it completely out of the server folder, the cheats go off.
If i reupload it back to the server, the cheats go on again.

Really strange...

Solved by recompiling etpub with BUILD=release
