You can use http basic auth of apache. Make an account with htpasswd 
with the same name as you normally use.

Put those account data into the script.

See one of the other sample scripts, that uses that, too.

For 1.2, you need to set auth_http_enabled = 1.

The other way is to modify MoinMoin/wikirpc not to need auth - but that 
is dangerous. You want to look in there anyway to get it use the correct 
page name. By default it writes only to a TestPage.
