sv_cheats defaults to 1 ?!! wtf?!!

Guys, i forgot to mention another problem occuring when using rotation.txt: when i start my dedicated server via command line, it connects me as player o_O (with my nick set in q3config.cfg, etc). this player hangs on server with ping 999 until he's dropped upon timeout. omg, wtf, etc
there's a message in server's console: 0 \ip\localhost\ blah-blah-blah

could this be the reason of setting sv_cheats to 1 by default?

i don't get, what's going on

cmdline is:
quake3.exe +set fs_game excessiveplus +set vm_game 0 +dedicated 1 +set net_port 27960 +exec svr.cfg

I have just found out the reason of such behaviour. There should be 'wait' command before starting the rotation:

[code:1]
// map rotation (see rotation.txt)
set xp_rotation "rotation.txt"
// this is needed to start the rotation
// test_bigbox is good because it tiny
wait // <---- we should place it here
map test_bigbox
[/code:1]

the absence of this command causes sv_cheats to be set to 1 (dunno why, but it does, that's for sure and regardless of q3config.cfg contents) and also it causes some kinda 'virtual' player (just don't know how i should call it) to be joined right after server's start o_O, who is dropped later upon timeout. i guess this is because without 'wait' command all's happened too fast and map test_bigbox is executed locally (just before dedicated server is created), as if 'map' command was executed in single player game. smth like that.

in my another config i used wait command and all worked fine, but the server.cfg sample bundled with e+ doesn't contain that command, so i didn't pay attention to it and didn't placed it before 'map test_bigbox' in modified cfg that used rotation.txt :oops: . sorry, guys)))

the problem is solved . and thanx again to anyone who posted here
