hi folks, the first of these should be as simple to solve as anything, but i cannot figure it out. the second may be more complicated, and perhaps there is a good tutorial on it that someone could point out to me (though i did not find exactly what i am looking for in the zope list of how-to's, etc.) 1. i am exploring using zope 2.2 on my local machine, the installation went fine, but now when i try to create anything from superuser, i get an error that says: Error Type: SuperCannotOwn Error Value: Objects cannot be owned by superuser what am i doing wrong here. (this of course runs completely counterintuitive from my unix experience, where superuser can do anything anywhere). i was folloing the steps outlined in the "A first zope site" How-to, and still did not get this to work. 2. on a website we are developing, we can log in as a user, and get AUTHENTICATE_USER to authenticate fine, but when we log out and log in as a new user, the content remains that of the original user. we are using a combination of UserDb to store users, acl_user, and a MySQL database to store user folder content information. the zope documentation still seems fairly sketchy as to how the whole authentication process works, and i have seen many questions posted about this. tia. ciao! greg.
