It had to do with the settings once the actual wiki was up and running.
You protected the pages and gave people permissions on an individual basis. They'd log in and could see things, but anyone not logged in (or who didn't have a login) couldn't see anything but the pages you left unprotected—the LOGIN PAGE needs to be one of those (because wow, that was a mistake I remember making *koff*).
How you do all of this might depend on the particular version of wiki you install; I haven't looked at DreamHost's version at all, but I'm sure it's got some kind of reference wiki for it.
