[hobbit] Alternate Pagesets

[Larry Barber]

You can keep people out of pages you don't want them to see easily enough
using the Apache security apparatus, you just need to protect every
directory with an .htaccess file. They can still do the view->main thing,
but if they do they will be challenged for a password which presumably they
don't have.

I don't think is is possible to limit the reports using alternate pagesets.
The reporting appears to be an all or nothing type of deal.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
