Statsme password

Post by [MiD]Arcticman-TPF- »

Hey everyone. Just figured out why people were doing things with my server without permission. Replace the pass in this line, root if the default and people are using it.
// Set password for StatsMe Menu (no password disables menu)
sm_menupassword "root" // To display menu type as player in the console: statsme_menu root

Ouch, yes, that's a big security hole that has been around for quite a while. Default passwords are definitely a bad thing, they've allowed quite a few hackers into government systems over the years ;)

This one deserves a FPP, I think. I'll go mention it there.
