[Zope-dev] Call me stupid (login form Howto & other Q)

Yo, you can call me stupid but I can't get this working: I have a logon form with user & passwd, but what do have to do after the user has submitted this? Do I have to create a new BasicUser and assign that to AUTHENTICATED_USER or what ? Normally I'd just create a Folder that requires some privileges, but this is not possible here (for other reasons) And something completely different: to be able to see the inside of a ZClass, I added an external method that just returns self.__dict__ . Is this the right approach, or is there something more direct ? TIA, Sloot.
