Currently, the only way to specify RCON settings is to specify them in the command line arguments.
This causes a security concern on servers since any user can see the RCON password in the process list
It also shows up in the log file since all command line arguments are printed here
I think this kind of info ought to be stored in the server-settings.json file.
Set RCON settings in server-settings.json

Re: Set RCON settings in server-settings.json
I agree, I think it would be nice if you could save the data there.
Re: Set RCON settings in server-settings.json
A very belated +1 to this idea... passwords in command-lines is... suboptimal (to put it mildly), IMHO.
(Granted, passwords in a plain-text file aren't hugely better, but at least that can be something that's locked down with permissions on a multi-user system. Anyone able to log in as the same user (or as root), though, will of course still have access... but that's at least a somewhat higher bar.)
