The live server is a Sun server - the Zope installation was copied

fine unless we try to log in.
The root folder of Zope does not have a MySQLUserfolder, but the
main subfolder - which hosts the website - has. When authenticating
to the website (MySQLUserfolder) I get the traceback. But I can
also not authenticate to the ZMI (I get access denied with a known
good password and with the emergency user.) But I know I should
have access to the ZMI, because I can copy the Data.fs to a test
server and login to that. So somehow now authentication is broken
for both Zope and MySQL authentication.
This led me to think the problem is in the Zope files, and I ran a
diff between my test system (Debian) and the live Sun server.
Many files differ, but in a way one would expect - the Python path
is not the same, so the first line of every .py file is different.
Also, *.pyc and *.pyo differ - likely because of the different
Python paths. But a number of file names on the Sun server worry
me. They miss the last letter - for example __init__.p instead of
__init__.py. I worry that the system admins (who I haven't met yet)
may somehow have managed to lose the last letters of some file
names, although I have no idea how that would be possible.
Is it possible that Zope can run sucessfully with these incorrect
filenames, and only the authentication is broken?
One thing that comes to mind is broken tar implementations on Solaris.
Don't use their tar implementation, use gnutar instead.
