    well, because i run in offline mode i need a plugin like"xauth" for to allow for registering of accounts with passwords so that for example, someone cant just login using my screen name thus booting me out and then said person would have OP and whatever permissions i had given to myself

    Okay I have been running a server for a while now and I don't see the need for "password authentication". If you want to run a more secure server with anti-grief etc. You should start with the following plugins. These are the minimum/barebone plugins I would need to start up my server.

    - Essentials
    - EssentialsSpawn
    - Hawkeye
    - HeroChat (Not the old one, the new one in bukkit dev.)
    - LWC
    - NoCheatPlus
    - PermissionsEX
    - Modifyworld
    - WorldEdit
    - WorldGuard

    i am definitely interested and more then ready to differ to thoes who have more knowledge then myself.however i dont understand how an offline server can be secure AT ALL without some kind of password authentication. if you could explain to me how that would work or at least point my brain in the right direction to understanding it i would be ever greatfull...thx :)

    I didn't know you were running an offline server. You can not run offline servers securely what-so-ever. Buy the game and have your players buy the game. There are so many exploits that get around "authenication plugins" for offline servers its scary.

    Password protection is idiotic.

    As far as anti-griefing goes, Essentials comes with the ablilty to stop users from placing any block you want (TNT, Water, Lava, Fire, etc.) and it also comes with the ability to stop explosions from destroying blocks.

    It is idiotic. Because the protection doesn't protect aganist anyone that knows what they are doing.

    Are you looking for a plugin like AuthMe Reloaded? Each account must create a password, then the player has to login after the account has a password made for it.

    yes that is the type of plugin i am looking for. is AuthMe the best one to use? from what im gathering there is not such THING as a "best one to use"

    Another plugin you could use is xAuth. Not really a best one, as you said. All that matters is what is easiest for you to use and one that is supported by the developer. You could also use your whitelist if you only want to play with your friends.

    i used xAuth on my test server and as far as being easy,all i did was put the plugin in the folder and that was it lol. was just wondering if there was maybe a more secure one i could use

    Authetication plugins all serve about the same function. I wouldn't say any are more secure, just that some have different features and options than others.

    Anytime. Hated to see people say the idea was idiotic when plugins were designed for that exact reason.

    It is against our Bukkit Help policy to offer support to users of cracked/offline servers.
