[Pmwiki-users] Passwords in a Wiki Farm

Sorry about this. It turns out that the we didn't test this thoroughly
enough and indeed it does work correctly. It looks like it was because of
using Firefox with tabbed browsing. What was happening is we were
authenticating, using the site, closing the tab, then later we went back to
the site and it let us right on without entering a password because we only
closed the tab and hadn't closed out the complete browser. We did this while
working on all 4 sites, hence the appearance that when we logged in to the
one we were then able to get in to the other sites, when in reality it was
because we had already logged in earlier in the day.

Well, it's not supposed to work that way.  Are you sure that each site
has a different password?  How/where are the passwords set up for each
field in the farm?
