[Moin-user] user auth

[Rick Vanderveer]

Jeremiah,
I think we weren't clear on what you wanted to do.

ACL's are Access Control Lists, they're the permissions level.  It sounds
like what you're describing, you want user-authentication.  The relation
between the two is, imagine a file server, where anyone in the company can
log onto the server with their user ID and read the files, but only
accounting can 'change' the files.

see: http://moinmo.in/HelpOnAuthentication
