I experienced today that somebody could issue chat messages under my nick name. That is: for the other players it was not possible to see that it was not me who wrote these messages.
I wonder whether this feature is possible without modifying the clientf in some way?
If it is possible to usurp other player's nick names for chatting with the official version that should be fixed cos its very annoying after a while. And if its due to a modified client it would be nice if there would be a way to fix this on the server side.

How could you do such a thing with rcon? I mean I would'nt know how to do it even if I had the rcon password.

I'm not quite sure, maybe the server is running with modified source?

The servers where this happend were DCC's DM server and the RBI Keyhunt server. Delight runs unmodified source AFAIK. And RBI probably runs a 2.3 snapshot.

There's no way to do that with rcon, unless you change the server (and if you do that, you can do just about anything...). You can't change the client either, since the clients just sends the message, the nickname is added by the server.
The "exploit" is much simpler and easy to spot (and works in other games, too)...
