Setting admin password the same as server password auto logs in as admin

[rommy]

If you set the server password to the same thing as the admin password, each player joining will auto log in as an admin. Is this a feature or a bug?

This is not a bug. If you have a passworded server and they join with that password, you're automatically logged in as admin. If you set both server password and admin password, you're technically connecting to the server as an admin.

Why on earth you got them the same anyway?

Well, only my clan can get on, whom I trust with global admin powers. I realize this may be a security flaw and have gone ahead and changed it.

Anywho, I can no longer get the server to have a password despite filling in the GamePassword= field. Is there anything else I could be missing to enable it?

Do it via the webadmin and change/restart map
