server admin best practices?
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2018 7:12 pm
Just set up a new server at bzflag.networkspeedy.com
Need to know what are current server administration best practices? What options should a good server be running with? What things should a good server owner do?
In the spirit of the questions above, I am thinking I should probably set up some global groups, but I'm unsure of what groups I should request or who I should put in them (suggestions welcome...)
Also on the same topic, what's the current feeling about running with -noTeamKills? On the one hand it seems like it would help people not accidentally kill team members, but on the other it might lead the uninformed to believe someone might be cheating if they attempt to kill a teammate who doesn't die... Is it better to just run with -tkkr 5 (which seems more than generous)?
All feedback and suggestions welcome and thanks in advance!!
