I have placed 2 small scripts in the server direcotory, one called "clearpass.cfg", and the other "setpass.cfg". The clearpass.cfg contains something like password "" and the setpass.cfg contains something like password "veryverysecret" For convenience, in the server.cfg i define 2 aliases: alias setpass "exec setpass.cfg" alias clearpass "exec clearpass.cfg" and now, I can type rcon clearpass and rcon setpass to clear and set the pass. Dunno if there is an easier way.
