Thanks. I reverted these pages through the admin interface.

Adding basic auth is pretty easy under apache. I just use a .htaccess file
that looks something like this:

    AuthName "restricted stuff"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /path/to/htpasswd

    require valid-user

There is no plugin to do this, although you can use Kwiki::Users::Remote
in conjunction with basic auth, I believe.

Cheers, Ingy
