VerboseSecurity often logs information that might be useful, but which does not actually raise an Unauthorized error. For example, if you look at the management interface as a semi-restricted user, you'll see only some of the tabs. VerboseSecurity will output a log message for each tab you can't see and for every ZMI request. This is far more info than most people want (including me). :-) Maybe instead of outputting to the event log, VerboseSecurity should send the info to the closest site error log. The information would only persist if the "copy to event log" checkbox is turned on. What do you think? Shane

Re:adding win32 build inst. Tap Tap Tap is this thing on?

Hi Andy, Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to think I was being snubbed for even asking. Silly me for trying to hold them to their statement in the install docs. At least could it be removed as to not mislead people such as me into thinking one is actually forth coming in this lifetime ;-) p.s. I know that it was not explicitly "promised", but I figured since its been in the install.txt a while, and there have been many win32 binary releases, it was implicit they would share some tips on that process someday.

finally adding win32 build instructions to zope distro
by James Johnson 12 Sep '02

12 Sep '02

Let me start with a smiley face :-) Now please can I get ahold of come instructions or notes on how to build zope on win32. I have ms vc5 can I use it or do I need vc6? I'll even take gcc or ming32 help if someone knows how to build it that way on win32. I've looked at the notes on zope.org and not sure if the current inst notes for the source will help me. Since its been promised for some time in the distro notes :-). Is there an ETA for an official win32 build notes to be included with current Zope releases. thanks, - James _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Re: [Zope-dev] What does error code 136 mean?
by Peter Keller 12 Sep '02

Hi, I have tried Leonardo's very helpful suggestion to get a Python traceback: > Try to run zope under a debugger. Follow instructions here: > http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/debugspinningzope > but type "continue" (w/out quotes) as soon as you get the gdb prompt to > get zope to run normally. This, combined with some debugging of the corefile at the C level (which I know a lot more about than anything to do with Python) has helped me figure out what the problem is. The DTML that was cauisng the crash was: <dtml-in Catalog sort=lastEditTime reverse> but some items in Catalog did not have a property lastEditTime. In my particular circumstances I can exclude these objects from the ZCatalog, but surely there ought to be a cleaner way of handling this - either putting objects with missing properties at the end of the list, or not having them feature in the list at all? Perhaps some way of controlling this (or at least raising a more meaningful error) might be considered in a future release of Zope? The gory details.... I've appended the Python traceback. You can see the problem call to sort in lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py . Why a SIGFPE? Dates seem to get converted to C doubles by Python for comparison. From debugging the core file, line 345 in Objects/floatobject.c in the python v2.1.3 source is causing the problem: 340 static int 341 float_compare(PyFloatObject *v, PyFloatObject *w) 342 { 343 double i = v->ob_fval; 344 double j = w->ob_fval; > 345 return (i < j) ? -1 : (i > j) ? 1 : 0; 346 } 347 w is a missing python object with a junk w->ob_fval, which presumably comes from the missing lastEditTime property of one of the objects involved in the comparison: (ladebug) p *w.ob_type struct _typeobject { ...snip... tp_name = 0x3fffffa0648="Missing"; ...snip... tp_doc = 0x3fffffa04d0[Ladebug Warning: String is too long to display.

Re: [Zope-dev] Some Zope distributions are missing Data.fs.in
by Stefan H. Holek 11 Sep '02

Same thing on Debian. 'Data.fs.in' is missing there as well. This is a problem for me as the ZopeTestCase relies on a working Testing package and error reports start to trickle in... AFAIK, 'Data.fs.in' already contains things like the root Application object and the Control_Panel. If no base is given to the DemoStorage, these objects would have to be created every time. Also, 'Data.fs.in' is only 75kb and setting up a test ZODB from it is very fast. Using a large(r) Data.fs file as base for DemoStorage slows things down _considerably_. I am wondering how "getting rid of Data.fs.in" is supposed to look like, and for now am all for advising the packagers not to break the Testing package. ;-) Stefan --On Mittwoch, 11.

Logging in as admin and impersonating another user - is it possible with Zopes sec policy?
by Dario Lopez-Kästen 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hello! I am wondering if it is possible to write a userfolder that does the following: For certain categories of users, for instance Teachers, while keeping their current authorisation of Teachers, I need to let them "impersonate" a user with lower authorisation than they currently have, say Students. So a logged in Teacher could for instance examine what a particular student sees in a Student portal (i.e. "previewing" it as would that particular student) Is this possible with Zopes current securtiy mechanisms? /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen, dario(a)ita.chalmers.se IT Systems & Services System Developer/System Administrator Chalmers University of Tech.
