Private List Server

Overview

This article discusses how to create a PRIVATE List Server and have players authenticate via this server. This is generally not necessary, since BZFlag clients perform Global Registration via the official bzflag.org List Server.

However, if a BZFS server is created within a private LAN network, it may be desirable/necessary to authenticate players locally. Pro
