Just got told about a rcon_password exploit for Q2 engine games which allows
anyone to get the rcon password from the server as easy as cake. So I got my
trusty disassembler, did a bit of poking around in the executables and fixed
the problem. Now if you use the executables from this zip file to run servers
on Windows or Linux no one will be able to get the rcon_password anymore. One
note though: These executables cannot be used to play Kingpin, they are only 
made to run as a server. 

Windows servers
---------------
Put the kpded.exe in your Kingpin folder. Then run the server by executing it:

	kpded.exe +set game whatever +exec server.cfg


Linux Servers
-------------
Put the kpded in your Kingpin folder. Then run the server by executing it:

	kpded +set game whatever +exec server.cfg &


NOTE: These executables will also append to existing qconsole.log files instead
of overwritting them as before.
