Manual talk:Preventing access

How come, when I add the "$wgWhitelistRead =" as instructed, an anonymous use can still view the contents of pages beyond main/login/help? I copied/pasted the line from this page to avoid the possibility of a typo. - Gregg S.

wgWhitelistRead seems to have no effect in 1.4beta1. From what I can tell, this is due to the default settings of the groupRights hash located in includes/User.php, in the isAllowed function, line 625. Changing line from 'read'         => '*', to 'read'         => 'user', seems to fix the problem. Joel Franusic 209.129.63.92 22:29, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
