[Zope] Re: Some help required but no sarcastic comments this time please
I understand your comments about sarcasm, but realize that this community is riddled with Unix bigots and just ignore it. Just listen to those willing to help. If you don't have to use MySQL, try either SQL Server or MS Access (small databases). See my pages on Zope NT SQL at http://techsite.tech-world.com/zopetips.htm for NT specific info. I would also recommend NOT using Win9x for ANYTHING. I always use NT. Other than that, have you installed the Win32 python extensions? Not sure if these are required with mySQL as I haven't used it myself.

[Zope] RE: Every user should have the Anonymous role everywhere
My suggestion for splitting the role or allowing an "anyone" or "public" role would allow "anonymous" to be maintained and used to identify users that are not authenticated. (This seems to be the norm now for DTML.) The new role would basically be defined as "ignore all security and allow access" Placing the alternate User Folder at the root and using hierarchical roles defined at the root level would make it more manageable, but it would have several drawbacks I can think of off hand: more complex management, shared security model in virtual servers, and difficult for newbies to implement security without locking themselves out of the entire system. Perhaps a flag for "use security"/"don't use security" on this folder/object would be useful?

RE: [Zope] Authentication, Anonymous and Public
I thought the same. Perhaps the use of NT User causes this? Since the browser has the credentials to authenticate to NT and the higher folders are not aware of the NT User Folder... Seems the only solutions are to use the NT User Folder at the root level.
