Ok, I've found this page:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/LocalCustomizations
and am trying to figure out how scripts/authuser.php
works. Any pointers still gratefully accepted. :)
Since this seems like a very common thing for wiki admins
to do, it would be great if there was a detailed example
right on that http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/LocalCustomizations
page of exactly what you modify, and where, to make it happen.
Also, I don't know if it's relevant, but my pmwiki/cookbook
directory is completely empty (except for a .cvsignore file).
