You can already set it this way, but you have to do it per user/game/install # . Log into the user's account by whatever means you want, usually I just click the cPanel transfer icon for the user/game/install in question. Get to the main page for that game install and set the server hostname to what you want, something like "AAA-Gaming-Servers-Of-Pure-Win.com" or whatever is appropriate for your situation. Once that is saved, go back to WHM and click on the "manage" link for the user/game/install you want to change, then click on the "Simple Config Editor" link.
Find the "Server Name" line and check both the "Del?" and "Disp?" boxes to delete their ablity to edit it and still display it.
Now their server will always use the specified server name and not let the client edit it. Note that if the client has access to FTP or file manager or whatever, they can still edit the config and change it, but there are so many ways they can do that, there is no way cPGS could regulate them all other than a monitoring script which is on the table for a future release.

Hey Darren,
Long time...
Is it possible to set a chattr on the file perhaps? and when users edit via the panel it -i's the file then +i's it when you hit save?

This way you can brand lock the host file and users that try to hack the config and by-pass certain limitations that GSP's setup for the clients (EG: Custom Maps List, Admin Email, ETC).

When I used to do game hosting this was one of the biggest issues to tackle and I assume as cPGS has a power-user level access this should be doable.

Thoughts?

Cheers

I could have cPGS set the immutable flag on whatever config files, but so many servers allow changing it via rcon while it's running, with mods/addons and such that it's not really worth the effort when there are so many other ways around it. The monitoring script I'm planning will alert the server owners if something changes they are watching so it won't matter what method someone uses to change the host name (or whatever) to, it'll be caught and the admins can crack down on it.
