OK, I browsed a little bit about GUF on the mailing list, and it seems that there are quite a few disasters. Horrible disasters. Sorry, but GUF seems a bit too inmature.
It's not immature, just unforgiving :-) GUF lets get down to the bare bones of an authentication system. Unfortunately this tends to mean you have to build it all up from scratch. Sometime RSN I'll finish a the one I'm working on that uses postgresql and I'll bundle that up as a package for people to use, or use as an example. Not for a few weeks yet, though.
So, let me come back to the original question again, beside straight GUF, is there any other way of tapping into Zope's security model and using a generic user?
Look in the download section of www.zope.org for one. The first question, though - what do you intend to authenticate out of? A database? LDAP? John.
