Ok, im not quite sure how to get mods/smods/sysops to "Auto Login" once entering the zone without having to do *login <pw> or *password..So this is a nerbie question...so can someone please lemme know how this is done?

I think that only works for moderators...

However, you can have the guy set an auto key in their Profile, where it says "Auto", and make him put *password in the field.

WTF? Why don't you add your mod password to your normal password like everyone else?

PASSWORD*MODPASSWORD

Because if people know the mod password--even without being on moderate.txt--they can still do certain things (because subgame is dumb). It's better to never give out the mod password at all.

Of course, with my ASSS setup, I made sure I disabled all of the group passwords, because passwords are a bad way to secure something.

If they don't know the password, then they can't be a mod, and there is no issue. If they know it, they can add it to their password or type it manually when logged in. You can't have it both ways.

Yes, they can be mod. Add them to moderate.txt and make subgame check mods. That will log them in as moderators when they enter. They never need to know the password.
