That should be rather "require valid user" or similar, so that all users 
(or all of a certain group) can login.

Strange. But maybe there is something wrong. A user "test" should not 
get accepted by a moin with ACLs switched on. IIRC, it requires you to 
enter a CamelCase WikiName as username (and also password and email).

So maybe try with "TestUser" (both in httpd.users and MoinMoin account 
data).

If it doesnt work, modify your config to know "TestUser" so we can try 
from externally - or meet us on IRC for debugging ;)
