Server Properties Updated for beta1.8
In the server.properties file there are many settings you can change:

Beta:
level-name: The world folder to load
allow-nether: Allows entering the Nether
view-distance: The amount of chunks that are shown to a player, smaller = faster, less view distance.
spawn-monsters: Spawn monsters at night. False makes the game faster.
online-mode: Allows cracked users
spawn-animals: Allows friendly mobs to spawn.
max-players: The maximum amount of players on the server.
pvp: Allow players to attack other players.
level-seed: If you would like a specific map seed as the map.
server-port: Usually 25562, the port you forwarded.
white-list: If a whitelist is enabled, only certain players on white-list.txt can join.
allow-flight: Allow no-clip and flying mods to be used.
server-ip: Set this if you want the server to bind to a particular IP. It is strongly recommended that you leave server-ip blank unless you know what you are doing!
gamemode: Defines the mode of gameplay.

0 - Survival [default]
1 - Creative

difficulty: Defines the difficulty (example: damage dealt by mobs) of the server.

0 - Peaceful (there is also spawn-monsters=false to have peaceful difficulty)

motd: This is the message that is displayed in the server list of the client, below the name.
Note, motd does NOT support color codes.
If the MOTD is too long, the server list will report a communication error.

Classic:
verify-names: If you are playing on the hosting computer, turn this off.
admin-slot: Always allows ops to join, even if the server is full.
public: Shown in the classic server list if this is on.
server-name: The name shown in the list and when joining.
max-players: The maximum amount of players.
max-connections: The maximum amount of people allowed from the same IP (Reccomended 1). 3 Maximum.
motd: Message of the day, welcome message.
grow-trees: If saplings will grow into trees.

Other Information
having spawn-monsters=false & difficulty=1 will allow mobs to spawn from spawners and do not instantly disappear. Mob will not spawn just because it is dark. Unconfirmed bug or feature.
