Matt Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I'm starting a Tekkit server and was just wondering if anyone knew any ways that someone not opped could spawn blocks, or cheat, or cause general mayhem (Without legitimately earning the things needed to cause mayhem) with the base Tekkit mods. If there is any cheating that can be done, what can I do to prevent it? I'd like to nip any potential problems in the bud. Thanks in advance. :) Quote
rukx Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Hey Matt, on my server we've noticed non-op users can use NEI's built in cheat system to control weather and time. Doesn't really impact the game to much, and since we are a private community our users tend to not care or use it to much. I guess it could be used for constant EU from solar arrays, but meh. Quote
njdmoorpark4 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 it is nearly impossible to spawn items unless u are opped on multiplayer but NEI does sometimes allow non opped people to change the weather like rukx said flying isnt possible because of all the mods in technic Quote
Cheap Shot Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 They shouldn't be able to do those things if you have permission set correctly. I've not noticed that problem. Quote
Matt Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 I'm sorry if this is a nooby question, but where can I find the page that tells me what all the permissions nodes are? Quote
kawaiiwolf Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 It really depends on which plugins you have installed to manage permissions. If you use the setup I described in http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php?topic=83.0 the pages that have the plugins also have a full listing of the permissions associated with them. Quote
rukx Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Hey Cheapshot, i'm curious now actually. I have permissions setup, of course. None of the vanilla commands, or essentials commands for changing weather and time are given as nodes to my default groups. Yet they can still do this. Is NEI using a seperate command? I guess I could check console and test it. It's not a big deal, just wondering now. Quote
Cheap Shot Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I think NEI might yeah, but I couldn't say for sure. I'm not one of the coders so I can only help with known bugs or troubleshooting. Check it out in the mean time. There is also a thread which talks about permissions here http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php?topic=83.0 Quote
HalibutBarn Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 NEI permissions are controlled by the file config/NEIServer.cfg, and by default it does indeed let regular users do a bunch of things like control weather and time. The safest thing is to set them all to 'OP'. Quote

The safest thing is to set them all to 'OP'. Oh, thanks! That solves that problem. Just pointing this out: All users can use /spawn by default (i think), which could be a problem on PVP servers (teleporting out of fights). So disabling that would be good. Quote
