Whitelist Issue

[Moffasa 5]

hey guys having an issue with white listing players, they are whitelisted in the BEC whitelist  file and it is active in BEC config, 1 line each ect, but players are still kicked for not being whitelisted on my server, if i open the whitelist and edit it in any way then save, they can join no problem.

Has anybody any idea what could be happening here, or do you no how to turn whitelisting off completely, i have tried commenting it out in the config file and nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Should have mentioned that editing the file is only temporary and as soon as the server restarts they will be kicked again.
