This article was taken from a HLDS_APPS posting by Alfred Reynolds.

Additional Remarks have been added to Alfred's Documentation. This is taken from the KQuery Wiki (http://wikki.kquery.net/), as unfortunately the page is defaced. One can dig deeply through the revision history to obtain the information, some of which is vital to creating a working implementation.. I have taken the liberty of echoing it here. 20:51, 4 Feb 2006 - Erik Hollensbe

The C app (CLI / rcon.c) unfortunately does not work for me. I either get 'authentication failed' or 'Illegal size -559038737'. Maybe the app does not like 64bit Linux. Other apps (like SRCDS.py) work just fine but their code is hard to understand, and they require Python and the like. I googled for a better C implementation but couldn't come up with anything. Too bad there isn't a more official tool for this, as it can be really useful for maintaining servers remotely. Andreas Klauer 06:13, 14 Jul 2008 (PDT)
