Question about roles for skins, skins not working on registration,

Hi- I'm really struggling to get the xWiki to a point where I can expose it to the real Internet. I'm having a _lot_ of trouble getting security to work tolerably. ? What roles control skin access? I have: Global XWikiGuest register allow Global XWikiGuest comment deny Panels XWikiGuest view allow XWiki XWikiGuest view allow But, registration still doesn't work. The skins and stuff are denied, and the registration page pulls disastrous javascript errors, too. There isn't a "Skins" space, though, to give them access to- panels and xwiki didn't do it- what gives? Also, ? How to set up the email validation? I turned it on and put reasonable text in the email stuff, and the email is sent... but, I don't see a generated confirmation number- now the user gets a form wanting the confirmation number- what is configured wrong? I'm using the tips within the last couple of days. -Thanks for any help, -Tom -- May 4, 1970: Alison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, William Schroeder.
