I run a smallish multiplayer server along with a friend of mine. The worst thing that we have to deal with is hands down cheaters. Either people who flyhack or superjump hack or cheat with textures.
A further update perhaps 1.9 should include security for multiplayer environments.
Server owners should be able to require that players use the default texture pack and disable client modification.
Bukkit has remedies for many of the ways people cheat.
Requiring that a specific texture pack (in this case default) be used doesn't sit well with many people, After all, minecraft is a game about customization.

even with the default people can edit it to make an xray texture pack so again with u there

You cannot stop people from modifying THEIR client. The only thing you can protect against is "hacks and cheats" (Using the term loosely, as each term means something different to everyone).
The "obvious" solution is to simply require a whitelist on your server. That way you can screen for douchebags, and you're sure your server is intact.

And personally I don't care about the people's desires to play with other textures. I need to know that my server is secure, and it's not.
