I think all the login/authentication issues are fixed now.

Root Cause:

    * Somebody changed our server.policy which prevents read access to
      certain wiki pages.
    * Not sure who added the [ALLOW{edit <username}] which allows edit
      only to that particular user.

How do we prevent this:

    * If we've a controlled access to the machine we can prevent
      server.policy file changes.
    * Adding [ALLOW {}] entry to a particular wiki page, we've to be
      considerate to other users, after all wiki is meant for sharing.

thx
