if it really is limited in the way you describe then whoever programmed the server at IG is completely incompetent since it goes against every single concept of a "server" I've ever heard of in 20+ years managing corporate server rooms.

adminlist.txt and thus admin rights on a remote machine let you kick and ban other players. Thats about it.

thanks for the clarification. I don't do the admin of the private server my group plays on so the limitations of adminlist.txt has never come up, plus we've never had to ban anyone, yet :)

Somebody at IG should NOT be writting code for the game if they over looked such an obvious use case for remote use of devcommands.
