There must be, but I don't know what it is -- I very much doubt that I
know much more than you do about how all this works -- I've just been
at it longer.  I do know that when I read-protect my whole site by
setting

		$DefaultPasswords['read'] = crypt('readpasswordhere');

in local/config.php, it is then necessary to place this **near the
top** of my local/config.php:

	// When all read-attr is set for the whole wiki, these three lines are needed
	// to get domain to redir to Main and get Groupname to redir to
Groupname/Pagename
		if (!$pagename) $pagename = 'Main.HomePage';
		if (!preg_match('!(\\.|/)!', $pagename))
		$pagename = "$pagename.HomePage";


So if you want to give this a try, put it up there right below

<?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();

Hoping that helps,
