I use PmWiki both for work and for non-work stuff (http://www.night-watch.net for example): Securing it is pretty much a doddle - you have a standard .htpasswd file with userids and passwords in it, and a .htgroups file that indicates which groups users are in, and after that everything is pretty much infinitely tunable in terms of who can see and edit what - even down to the page level if you want.
There's an extremely active pmwiki community, and lots of really useful add-ons appearing all the time (ones I use include the blogging functionality, which, with RSS, handles our news announcements, an event calendar (which can also have an RSS feed or, I think, talk to iCal). The one thing I've not got working is OpenId, which is annoying as it means you can have authentication tied to membership of an LJ community or friends list.
(it *may* become possible to log into http://akicif.info/ [ETA2: forgot the mod_rewrite] as today goes on - if I can spare the time. This is a very vanilla setup, though, and doesn't have the "usual" bells and whistles as above)
ETA: OpenId now works, as long as you got your openid from myopenid.com rather than LJ or openid.org ....
Unfortunately if I'm not using LJ userids, there's no point in doing the dead cunning "grab an lj friends list and scrape" so that just the right people can access the site.
