Rust Offline player file for RCON

I wrote this to the developer of the RustAdmin RCON tool...

"Does the RCON tool read from the server's player file? When I was running my server on a Windows box it kept a list of everyone that had ever connected to the server even if they disconnected. I've recently moved to a Ubuntu box and the Player tab only shows connected players. It doesn't keep track of disconnected players (I assume this is because Linux servers don't have player files). Because of this, if I ban a cheater (but forgot that I should IP ban them... just happened... oops) and later decide to ban their IP I can't check RCON for it to ban their IP later on. At one point (on the Windows box) I had 25,000 disconnected players. I can't keep manually keep track of that many people. Could you possibly make a separate plugin that creates a file like the player file that RustAdmin can read from? That would be amazing!"
