2. Removing the links depends on the skin being used. Some skins call 
Site.PageActions. Other embed it in the skin itself.

If it's in Site.PageActions, you can put
(:if auth admin :)
(:endif:)
around the links you want only admin to have access to, or remove the 
links entirely and type ?action=diff into the URL bar manually.

If it's in the skin, edit the tmpl file.


1. I don't know how to disable access by people who know to type 
?action=diff, but I suspect it would take under three lines in config.php.

Are you using AuthUser? That might change the code.
