[pmwiki-users] Problem with securing my website using login for updating

This has never happened before but here goes. I just moved my website to 
a new hosting site. I just entered a bad admin login name and correct 
password. It let me open up that page for editing. So I tried to enter a 
makeup userid and makeup password. It let me open up the editor for 
editing that page. I am not sure how this is happening.

I just noticed that I had 30 user on my website. I just put a .htaccess 
file in the root to block anyone until I get this problem fixed.

Nothing have changed I have this:

- this in my config:
	$DefaultPasswords['admin']='$1$Pw1cjg06$9VgqESpEGt1WLCJPgr/3J.';
	$DefaultPasswords['attr']= '$1$Pw1cjg06$9VgqESpEGt1WLCJPgr/3J.';
	$DefaultPasswords['edit']= '$1$Pw1cjg06$9VgqESpEGt1WLCJPgr/3J.';
	$HandleAuth['diff'] = 'edit';

- authuser plugin

The only thing I can think of is that per a question I had here the 
other day in another thread "Problems adding my pmWiki to a different ISP".

I modify the permissions of wiki.d/ so they're 777 instead of 775.
