Hi Pat,

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, that behaviour of the wiki is expected 
and documented on the main page: "Anyone may read these pages. In order
to add or edit content a registration is required. Registration is manual
process, needs some motivation and can be submitted to the author of
pmacct.": basic but works against spam. Shortly, I will contact you
privately for creation of the account.

Cheers,
Paolo
