-password workarounds?
is there a way to put use a -password parameter in the in-game server starter?
at school we are doing a charity bzflag tournament on the local network, but the school technitians don't want to give us access to the command line (because they are paranoid abiut us doing terrible things to thier system). and i know you can't set the -password through the map file....
i don't suppose thers a default password?

yeah. we diddn't want to run it public anyway....
we have now run into another problem --- our system admin is getting touchy with us using the batch file, so we have to run the server without a password, but all the maps that i put into the 'worlds' folder won't work.
i start the server (using the in-game server starter) with any custom map it says 'server started' and when you try to connect it fails. it only works with random map.... aaaaaahhhh.
we want to run HiX.

Yes, port 80 is the default for a web server, and port 443 is the default for SSL Http (web) traffic. But those are just the defaults... They can be changed. Other services could be set to run on them with no problems if they are not being used by those services (no web server running on 80 or 443), but it is not recommended. There are plenty of other ports.
Here is a link to the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) webpage that lists the ports and the services that are assigned to them by default:

You're under windows, right? (for this server I mean)
Are you using the Start Server shortcuts on the start menu?
Start Menu->Programs (or All Programs on Windows XP)->BZFlag (whatever)->Server->(something in here)?
I could be completely wrong, but I might know what's wrong.

Well, could you create a shortcut to bzfs with the correct parameters?
just use [drive]:\path\to\bzfs -password passwd -conf "asfasf" -world "asdf"
Like for me:
it would be "C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.4\bzfs.exe" -conf "myconf" -password "secret" -world "myworld.bzw"
