[Phpwiki-talk] To clarify re:security question

Willie L's response (thanks for responding so quickly):

"Maybe using PhpLib authentication this should be possible.

I adapted PhpWiki to authenticate users through the database created by 
PhpLibi.
Is it useful for you?"

Thank you, Willie, but perhaps I should have put glowing neon lights 
and dancing animated gifs around the word "simple" in my request. 
Unlike (apparently) most of you in this list, I am not (yet) a coder. 
[I did figure out what to add (some missing code) to line 201 of 
index.php in order to get my phpwiki 1.3.3 to work, but that was about 
the extent of my current "expertise" with php.]

So if anyone can tell me "add these lines here to create a user and 
password" or something like that, it would reach me on my current level 
of non-expertise. It just seems so basic, not so very different from 
what the application is already doing, that I thought it would be 
pretty simple to add at least one user... the level I am looking for is 
more secure than BOGO (can anyone tell me what value that BOGO feature 
has, anyway?) but grants less than full admin powers.

It would be a nice feature for this (or any) wiki to have anyway. But 
if it can't be done in this application, I guess my only recourse would 
be to give the entire group the admin password and just hope they don't 
mess their wiki up too badly.

Thanks again to any and all who can offer help or suggestions on this.
