Hi Pavel,

I was unclear,. If you don't have access, I suggested that you tell me
the name of the page to which you have added a password, so that I
could then add that name to the list of pages in the file password.txt
on the server :-)

However, instead of maintaining a list of protected wiki pages in a
file on the server, I've moved the list to the following wiki page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Site/PasswordProtected

So after you protect a page, by going to the URI + 'action=attr', then
just add the name of the page to the wiki page Site.PasswordProtected.

So the current procedure to protect a page is as follows:

* Go the page in question, but append 'action=attr' to be able to set
the edit password
* Go to http://wiki.lyx.org/Site/PasswordProtected and add the
name of the page to the list of protected pages.

In addition, I'd recommend announcing on e.g. the developers' list
that you proteced the page.

Please note that in order to protect the page, and to add the name of
the page to PasswordProtected, you need to know the password.  If you
don't, then ask on the users' or developers' list.

Christian, 
can you protect by paswword this page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts.SongbookInstall
its under chronical spamming.

It's done now.

In order to protect a page from editing with a password, you do as follows:

* Go to the page, with '?action=attr' appended to the URL, e.g.

   http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts.SongbookInstall?action=attr

  Then you'll see fields where you can set a password,
  and in this case we want to set the password for 'edit'.
  Set the password to the same password we use for other
  protected pages.

* Finally, if you have shell access to the server, modify the file:

  /home/lyx/www/wiki.lyx.org/passwords.txt

  and add the name of the page that you just protected to the list
  of pages that are protected.

If you don't have access, just tell me.

If you don't know what password to set, ask me or on the list.

At the moment we have the drawback we can't change the password in one
place and have that change reflected on every page. This could be
implemented, but then it'd not be possible for someone without shell
access to protect pages.

Greetings to everyone!
