Weird Mission issue

[linuxmaster9 101]

I have an issue during testing where only 1 player slot shows at server start even though there are 75. I only have 1 faction. I wanted to make everyone Indie. All players are marked as Playable. In Atom (my dev tool), in the mission.sqm file, they all have player="PLAY CDG";

Here is what the server looks like in the server browser. 0/75 slots



Here is what it looks like when I load into the server:



And Here is what it looks like after I log in as Admin on  my local test server:

So on the same server, not logged in as admin you don't see any slots, but as soon as you log in the slots appear?  I've never seen that one before... are you using vanilla faction IND_F?
