Hi

Today morning, my three kwiki and kwiki.org are all spammed with:

Hacked By TehLiqE
teh...@hotmail.com

Kwiki and perl-hackers.net wiki were with TypeKey control. The other
two of mine were wide open.

Is there any plugin for conventional password? (where registration is
not open as TypeKey).

Thanks

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
