Running my own server problem : Neutral faction reset

Hello, I have tried to play on my own server, and I get a strange and very annoying problem (which don't happen when I create a character on any internet server).
When I create a character, he starts with all neutral factions.
Whenever I do some faction work, quit, and log the character again, all factions are reset to neutral ???
Why is this happening ? I didn't change any config files, even reinstalled the game.
Anyone can help ? thanks

Sounds a little odd. Check your server's MP initial faction settings anyways. They're in this file, and should look something like the following:

EXE/mpnewcharacter.fl

house = 0.91, li_n_grp
house = 0.91, li_lsf_grp
house = 0.65, li_p_grp
house = 0, br_n_grp
house = 0, br_p_grp
house = 0, ku_n_grp
house = 0, ku_p_grp

I get the same problem if I connect through my router (still inside the LAN).

Well, I didn't touch the mpnewcharacter.fl, and the settings are the same you posted. But please note that it is not a "new character initialisation" problem. It happens each time I log out and log in again (all other progress is saved : money, level, ship, equipment, location ... only the factions are reset).

I have the exact same problem and so does my friends. I was even amazed to find out that most servers don't experience this problem... It's some really messed up bug which we haven't been able to figure out. In one case, all started out well but then the server just randomly started resetting all reputations every time it went back online.

Some help would be appreciated on the topic as this is some serious gameplay issue... bad reps ruin the whole game experience :/
