Be careful, moinmaster wiki is for us preparing the moin 1.6 docs.

For moin 1.5 better use your local pages you got with moin.

Looks like you got that right nevertheless.

No, you need to add it at the same place where you do your other config 
settings (and indented by the same amount of spaces) or it won't work.

If it is plain old & slow standard cgi (and not fastcgi, not mod_python, 
not any other persistent stuff), restarting is not necessary as CGI 
restarts moin anyway for each request.

admin right is only about being able to change ACLs, it does not include 
read or write (or any other) permission, so the user must have 
read,write on the page by some other means.

I guess you just overlooked the 4 blanks in front of "from 
MoinMoin....autoadmin import SecurityPolicy".

I added a hint to the moinmaster page about indentation being like the 
other settings, I hope that helps.
