How to make a server for more than 4 people

alien-swarm

I know there are Alien Swarm dedicated servers for 5 or 6 players.

How do I create a game for more than 4 people?

It may be by listen or dedicated server.

As I already mentioned in the comments on badp's answer, the standard campaign maps do not support it, so there's no telling where you'll end up without modifying it.

However, as in any source game, you can do this by adding -maxplayers 6 to the SRCDS command-line. 6 is a limit hard-coded into the game.

You can also try entering maxplayers 6 in the `Developer Console for a listen server, but I'm not sure whether that works.

If 6 doesn't work, try entering a higher value like 10, it should clamp to 6.
