I think to help those new to running servers a new Admin Setting is needed.
This admin setting would be created when the server is first started as step one. It would not allow for anyone to edit its password, and it can ignore the ban list.
Example, recently i was half asleep and someone tricked me into giving them admin status, they then banned my IP. So now i am SOL on getting in and removing him.
With the new admin setting i could have effectivley logged into the server, banned him and proceded to clean up the bull crap he created.
Also there needs to be two new settings on server login windows both local and web based.
One a Remove all Admininstrator settings except on the name you log into the server as. A one push button that can help you stop a hijack as mentioned above. Also a Banned IP window so if you are locked out of your TS you can log into the server via the web interface, unbann your account so you can relog in.
Also this power admin account would be the account used to also log into the server via a web interface, thus stopping hijackers from getting in and messing it up internally.
Just some ideas not sure if they would ever be able to be added but they would sure help when somone hijacks a server, you can log in shut down the server, remove all admin rights from all accounts. Then procedde to reset things instead of a wipe.
also we need a way to backup the registered users, so in the above instance which only last 10 minutes cause we wiped the server, i could have reset 90% of the users without having to re-register them.
