[pmwiki-users] How to add a read password field to the edit form

You can look at the code in WikiSh.php for wshChmod() to see how to
set a password and potentially append to it.  Basically it's a
question of reading & setting a value in $page['passwdread'].

Probably you could hook into the $EditFunctions with another function
that will do what you want it to do.

Hope that gets you started in the right direction.
