I have not explicitly set USER_AUTH_ORDER (the instructions for getting True 
User Authentication don't tell me I need to), therefore I expect the setting 
to have the value in /usr/share/phpwiki/config/config-default.ini, which is:

USER_AUTH_ORDER = PersonalPage

Should I select "USER_AUTH_ORDER = Db" instead (since I am using a MySQL 
backend database, I'd quite like all the authentication data to be in there 
as well)?

Thanks for the reply - it's good to see there's someone else around here :)
